Item Keywords

Overview

Item Keywords are an additive system to Items. This feature allows you to dynamically add modifiers to an item, altering it in a different way.

How to Create an Item Keyword

Right-click in the Project window of Unity, or go to the Asset menu at the top left.
Navigate to Create > Asteria > Item Keyword.
After selecting "Item Keyword," give your item keyword a unique name (this refers to the asset in the project, not the name shown in the inspector). To avoid conflicts with other mods, consider naming it something like MyModName_ItemKeywordName.

Now that your item keyword is created, you can set up its data. Below, you'll find example item keywords and details about each piece of data that makes up an item keyword.

Item Keyword Examples

Bonded

Iron Fury

Thundersoul
