SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents unsafe modifications to the Unreal GameCore foundation by guiding developers toward maintainable OrionGame and GameFeature based extensions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Framework Extension Guidance: Helps determine when to use OrionGame derived classes, GameFeature plugins, DataAssets, or configuration instead of changing protected GameCore code.
  • Gameplay System Routing: Provides workflows for Experience loading, Pawn initialization, GAS abilities, GameFeature actions, input, UI, sessions, and replication related development.
  • Use Case: When implementing a new gameplay ability or character system, use this Skill to identify the correct extension layer, lifecycle timing, and validation steps before writing code.

Quick Start

Use the orion-gamecore-framework skill before adding or modifying Unreal gameplay code that interacts with GameCore derived systems.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I safely extend Unreal GameCore gameplay foundations without modifying protected code?

Use OrionGame derived classes, GameFeature plugins, or DataAssets instead of changing protected GameCore code. This framework-aware routing maintains foundation integrity by directing modifications through validated extension layers.

What is the correct extension layer for adding new GAS abilities in Unreal?

The correct extension layer for GAS abilities is through OrionGame derived classes or GameFeature actions rather than direct GameCore modifications. This ensures proper lifecycle timing, input binding, and replication validation during ability implementation.

When do I need a GameFeature plugin instead of a DataAsset for Unreal gameplay systems?

Use a GameFeature plugin for modular systems requiring dynamic lifecycle management like Experience loading or session workflows. Use DataAssets for static configuration-driven extensions without active plugin lifecycle overhead.

Can I modify the base Pawn initialization workflow in the GameCore framework directly?

No, you cannot safely modify base Pawn initialization directly in GameCore. Route initialization extensions through OrionGame derived classes or GameFeature actions to maintain protected base layer rules and lifecycle validation.

Why does directly changing Unreal GameCore code create maintainability issues?

Directly changing GameCore code breaks maintainability by bypassing protected base layer rules and lifecycle validation. Framework updates require routing modifications through OrionGame or GameFeature extension layers to preserve system integrity.

Does the Orion GameCore framework support UI and networking workflow extensions?

Yes, the framework supports UI and networking workflow extensions through GameFeature actions and OrionGame derived classes. These layers provide reference-guided implementation for input, sessions, and replication without altering protected foundation code.
