Modular Character

Allowing a Modular Character to use the System

The Modular Character Manager component is the compulsory first step in using the system. This class holds all of the data and references for the Character and it's current configuration. There are three tabs that hold data:

Let's take a look at each of the parameters:

The Character Tab

CHARACTER STYLE	The Character Style asset used by this character. Including this allows it to access the Wearable Database(s), Styles and Defaults
ARMATURE	The Armature for this character's rig.
HEAD BONE	The bone for the character's head.
SPINE BONE	The first spine bone for the character.
ROOT BONE	The root bone for this character (this is usually the "Hips")
LEFT HAND	The transform where left-hand attachments will be parented.
RIGHT HAND	The transform where right-hand attachments will be parented.
SAVE DATA	The currently equipped Wearable Set for the character. This holds the references for each slot, in addition to the current materials and morph values.

The Equipped Set Tab

MANAGER TYPE	The type of Manager this character uses, which defines how wearables are handled.
DYNAMIC MORPHS	This is set to true by default. It means face and body morphs will be handled automatically and applied to each Wearable you add. You can set this to false if you want to bypass the check — for instance, if you aren't using any morphs for the character.
CURRENT SET	The currently equipped Wearable Set for the character

The Hidden Slot Tab

This tab only really matters if you are using a Non-Destructive or Selective Manager. If using a Non-Destructive Manager, it will show you all of the hidden items that the character currently has equipped and removed. If using a Selective Manager, you will see the toggles to choose which slots are set to Non-Destructive.
