Using Scriptable Objects as Types for Gameplay - Unity GameDev Tutorial @ChrisTutorialsYT

Uploaded January 2023 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

Showing how you can use scriptable objects to create types for players, enemies, or abilities without hard coding them like enums and being able to have multiple types for one object unlike tags. In this demo, we selectively choose whether a mushroom enemy can walk on spikes without taking damage or not through those types defined by creating scriptable objects in the project assets folder.

Type Examples (You'd probably create a different ScriptableObject type for each category you want)
Allegiance Type: Player, NPC, Enemy
Element Type: Fire, Water, Wind, Earth
Classification: Giant, Spider, Dragon
