Classes

The Classes plugin lets you define character classes and assign them to characters. Characters can have one main class and multiple secondary classes.

Creating a Class Entry

Open the Spark Editor, go to Classes and click Create New.

Each class entry uses the standard database entry fields:

Field	Description
Display Name	Class name shown in-game (e.g., "Warrior", "Mage", "Ranger").
Description	Class description text.
Icon	Sprite for the class in UI.

Classes are primarily used as identifiers that other systems reference through requirements. For example, you can gate abilities behind a class requirement, restrict equipment to specific classes, or unlock quest content based on the player's class.

Main Class vs. Secondary Classes

Each character has one main class and can have any number of secondary classes. This supports systems like multi-classing or specializations.

Classes can also be unlocked separately from being assigned. Unlocked classes are available for the player to choose from, while assigned classes are actively applied to the character.

Class-Related Triggers

Trigger	Description
Add Secondary Class	Adds or removes a secondary class from the character. Configure the class entry and whether to remove instead of add.

Class-Related Requirements

Requirement	Description
Has Class	Checks if the character has a specific class (either main or secondary).
Has Secondary Class	Checks if the character has a specific class as a secondary class.
Main Class	Checks if the character's main class is a specific class.

Use Cases

Classes are commonly used to restrict abilities (e.g., only Warriors can use "Shield Bash"), gate equipment (e.g., heavy armor requires Warrior class), provide class-specific quests, and define progression paths. Combined with the Requirements system, classes become a powerful tool for gating content throughout your game.
