Advanced Stats System in Godot! (exp, leveling, buffs, etc.)
In this tutorial, I'll show you how to create an advanced (and very modular) Stats system for you Godot game!
Here are the features we'll add in this system:
• Basic stats (HP, attack, defense, etc.)
• EXP, Level, and scaling stats to level
• Buffs and Debuffs
NOTE: This tutorial contains intermediate level Godot concepts, and assumes you're familiar with ways to integrate this system into your gameplay. If you need help with a Godot-related issue, be sure to ask for help in my Discord server: / discord
