Help: Ability System with scriptable objects

Hey guys,

I'm pretty new to unity and I'm trying to make a small RPG game.
At the moment I'm giving a ability system a shot. I made a database which contains scriptable objects so far. But now I get stuck at adding methods to them. How can I combine my database items with methods (which clearly make the skills unique)?

Thank you in advance!
Sven

 

Are you using inheritance? If so, what I'm doing in my project is using virtual methods. So you define a base virtual function in the parent Scriptable Object and then you can use override in child SO's to create functionality for just that specific ability while keeping the same function name and inputs throughout for easier referencing
