HI, I am boby, starting fresh with playmaker !

I am working on a little project, and I have my eyes on this pluggin for quite a long time as it could save me some time.
I just wanted to be sure it does what I am looking for, so what I am looking for mainly is being capable of creating a stats system like you can see on Dota/Warcraft III for example with hitpoint system, level up, some stats etc.

From what I have seen in the video it seems to work for shooter with basic hitpoint system but do you think I could easily expand it to cover my needs, for example having a health bar/ mana bar etc.

Thanks for helping me !

Yeah you can use the World Variables for bars. You'd need to write a few lines of code though because the World Variable Listener wants numeric displays right now. Or you can use the Playmaker World Variable Listener, which fires an event on an FSM where you can set the width of the Health Bar etc.

I used a shooter as an example because it was quick to make. This works for all game types though.

Well it has built in World Variables, which are ints and floats, that can persist between play sessions and get updated automatically from a variety of events with no coding.

That IS a stat system in my view. As far as displaying them, I outline how to do that above. There are built in scripts for UGUI number displays though.
