Over the past several lessons we have implemented tempory implementations for the effect of an ability, such as manually implementing an attack damage estimation and application of the damage itself. In this lesson we will be providing a much more complete implementation which allows for very different effects ranging from applying damage to inflicting status ailments and which supports just about anything you would want to do.

Tactics RPG Ability Area of Effect
To fully select targets for an ability we need a few more steps. We began with specifying a Range. In this lesson we will implent a variety of Area Of Effect components which are applied based off the selection from the range. In addition, each ability may have multiple “effects” – each of which may specify a unique set of valid targets. I will provide a couple of implementations for these as well, so that we can have a completed targeting selection loop in place.
