Item

Data-driven item framework built on the Scriptable Factory system. Items are spawned from ItemData assets, pooled by the factory, and automatically configured with identity, visuals, value, physics, networking, and interaction tables.

Architecture

Data Flow

Key Concepts

Concept	Description
Factory-spawned	Items are pooled via the Scriptable Factory — not instantiated with new or Instantiate
Data-driven	All item properties come from ItemData ScriptableObject assets
ItemID	Composite identifier (TypeID, VariantID) — struct with Invalid sentinel
Implicit Interactable	Item has an implicit conversion to Interactable for seamless interaction API usage
Physics toggle	SetPhysicsEnabled() switches between kinematic (held) and dynamic (dropped)

Classes

Class	Description
Item	Abstract base class for all game items — identity, visuals, physics, interactions
