Skill attributes & generation

[sebastientromp]

Some random thoughts, just brainstorming, nothing structured yet

Attribute type list

• SpriteName is mandatory and internal
• SkillName is mandatory
• Cooldown is mandatory
• Radius is not - If not present, the skill affects the player
• Cost is not - Can be free
• Dmg is not

  Each skill has a "level", that is an internal property

• Start at level 1
• Child level is (average of parents) + 1

  Skill is a list of attributes

• Number of optional attributes is 2 + Floor(Level / 5) (mandatory attributes are always present)

  Attribute

• Type (from attribute list)
• Mandatory?
• Constraints on value
• Is the attribute a bonus or a malus (e.g. cost)
• What is the minimum skill level to have this attribute?
• How is the attribute value computed?
• Graphical special effect? The global skill effect needs to be different from the icon of the skill, and could even be composed of all the effects of the attributes

  Global skill generation

• Global check to ensure that the skill is within a certain range of "usefulness"? E.g. check that it isn't a god skill, or that is isn't some worthless trash
