scriptable-objects

You can decouple data from behavior in Unity by using ScriptableObjects as data containers. This allows designers to tweak values without code changes and reduces scene clutter for cleaner data-driven design.

The best way to set up zero-coupling communication is using ScriptableObject event channels. They enable decoupled system interactions by raising and listening to events without direct script references.

You can manage collections and object creation cleanly by utilizing ScriptableObject runtime sets and factory patterns. These patterns track active objects and centralize instantiation configurations.

Yes, you can use ScriptableObject patterns for designer-friendly inventory configurations. They provide typed variable references and data containers that let designers tweak gameplay rules without touching code.

You should avoid ScriptableObjects when managing highly dynamic, constantly changing state that requires frequent updates per frame, as they are primarily designed for static, designer-tweakable data rather than rapid runtime mutations.
