The Player Game Object is any object that a PlayerController can possess. In order for the PlayerController to possess an object, it must contain some core components. The primary component needed for possession are PlayerInputComponent, PlayerCharacter, and a PhysicsObjectComponent. These 3 work together to allow player control.
PlayerCharacterComponent
- The central hub for the character
- All components that need to cross communicate push up to this component. The PlayerCharacter then distributes this info as needed
PlayerInputComponent
- Takes input from the PlayerController
- Processes input and sends the relevant commands to the PlayerCharacter
PhysicsObjectComponent
- Calculates movement and collision per frame
- Must have its TargetVelocity set externally to trigger movement
- PlayerCharacter updates the TargetVelocity based on info obtained in PlayerInput
InventoryComponent
- Holds all items for a character
- Can hold all items or be divided into item types if needed.
StatComponent
- Holds all data that makes a character
- Contains Configuration Data and state data.
