Refactors, Editors, and Drawers

What's Changed

In this update, we've made significant enhancements to UGI, focusing on improving grid and separation logic. Here’s a summary of the key changes and additions:

Improvements

• New Editors: Added editors specifically for business classes to streamline editing.
• Bug Fix: Resolved a foreach loop issue for single iteration.
• Code Simplification: Removed unnecessary properties to enhance maintainability.
• Property Drawers: Improved InventoryMetadataPropertyDrawer and GridTablePropertyDrawer; introduced ContainerMetadata drawer.
• Error Handling: Added a new catch clause for better error management.
• Editor Adjustments: Fixed height-related issues and introduced a table drawer helper.
• Code Cleanup: Removed unnecessary imports and resolved annotation issues.
• Ongoing Improvements: Continued enhancements to various editors, including ContainerMetadata, and refinements to the grid table inventory.
• GridTable Editor: Added a new editor to manage and configure grid tables effectively.
• Input Events: Fixed input events for item placement and pickup.
• UI Refinements: Improved the behavior of the close button in the help modal and introduced initial controller support.

Additionally, we’ve introduced an input provider architecture, paving the way for easier integration with other projects and supporting multiple input providers. More improvements to this architecture are planned for future releases.

These updates underscore our commitment to enhancing user experience, code quality, and functionality. We will continue to refine and innovate, aiming to deliver a more robust and user-friendly grid inventory solution.

Sonar Analysis Pipeline 🧪

We’ve integrated SonarQube to enhance our code quality through continuous static analysis. SonarQube helps us identify bugs, code smells, and various issues by examining code quality, duplication, adherence to coding standards, unit tests, code coverage, complexity, and more.

With this integration, we now have valuable data to improve our code, ensuring a higher quality asset for you! 🫶

🪲 Bugfix: Container Issue

The Issue

Previously, you could place one backpack inside another, even if both were in the same hierarchy of containers. This behavior was unintended, allowing you to insert a backpack within another, regardless of the container's hierarchy level.

The Fix

This issue has been resolved, and now backpacks (or any container items) cannot be nested within each other, ensuring proper inventory management.

Check the video below to see the bug in action:

🎧 Audio System

We have developed an audio system based on Scriptable Objects.

❗ Important Classes

AudioSo: Holds the audio settings for an AudioClip.
AudioSoLoading image

AudioStateSo: Manages multiple AudioSo objects, allowing for random or sequential playback of clips to enhance user experience.
AudioStateSoLoading image

AudioCueSo: Contains two AudioStateSo objects—onBeingPlace and onBeingPicked. This is used in the Draggable Controller to trigger audio during interactions.

⚙️ Options System Refactor

The Options System has been refactored to use Scriptable Objects, making it easier to add options to items. Simply create an OptionSo Scriptable Object and add it to the options property in ItemDataSo.

Items

• Potion Item

• Backpack Item

➕ Additions & Changes

Added: Inventory Audio Controller

An Inventory Audio Controller has been added to the InventoryManager prefab, along with an Audio Source as a child component to manage audio playback (making it easy to add your own audio source).

Draggable Controller Updates

Minor updates have been made to the Draggable Controller to trigger the onBeingPlace and onBeingPick events. Audio feedback is also applied to actions like equipping/unequipping in Container Holders.

New Wav Files

We've added several WAV files to provide default audio effects for items.
