Can I connect a dialogic character to my own character class?

[scoulston]

Hello! I am working on a sort of text based adventure game (but not purely text), and I have a character data class I'm using to store character data on the characters for my game:

`extends Resource
class_name CharacterData

#starting inventory
const DEFAULT_INV = preload("res://inventory/default_inventory.tres")
#starting skills
const DEFAULT_SKILLS = preload("res://character/skill/character_skills/default_character_skills.tres")

the name of the character

@export var name: String = ""

the inventory for the character

@export var inv: InventoryData = DEFAULT_INV

list of skills and their levels/values for the character (besides constitution?)

@export var skills: CharacterSkillsData = DEFAULT_SKILLS

dialog color for the character

@export var color: Color

health of the character

@export var current_hp: int

maximum health of the character

@export var max_hp: int = 1`

I've just starting working with Godot, and I was wondering if you guys had any ideas as to how I can connect my character data to dialogic character data? The idea I guess is to be able to use my character data ( hp, max hp, the inventory of items the character has, etc) within dialogic. If that is possible. I'm not even sure at this point if that makes sense, but I figured I would ask for input. Thanks in advance!

Hello, first, I would recommend to put your code in three backticks.
You can also mark it via the <> button, same result. After the initial three backticks, you can write gdscript, to achieve syntax highlighting.

About your question, I recommend to keep the data of Dialogic and your game logic separate but use the same character name as keys.

Example: You store your character data somehow (a Dictionary?) and then access the correct data with the character name as key.
Then, you can make these changes happen with the Call event:

If you need more help, let me know and provide some specifics on how you imagine to change and alter your stats.
