Generic Interfaces are the backbone of a clean, flexible ability system, and in this video we’ll refactor a simple fireball-and-poison setup into a robust framework that supports both instant and persistent effects. By introducing interfaces and generics, we’ll decouple abilities from the player, make effects reusable across any damageable target, and extend the system to handle ongoing effects like poison with proper lifecycle management. We’ll also compose multiple effects into a single ability and add polish with visuals and audio, ending with a fully data-driven approach that’s easier to maintain and far more powerful in gameplay.
