Welcome to the Universal Stat & Effect Framework!
A lightweight, data-driven, and multiplayer-ready stats & effects framework for Unreal Engine. A perfect, Blueprint-friendly alternative to the Gameplay Ability System (GAS).

Everything is tag-driven and configured via Data Assets, keeping your Blueprints completely clean and highly performant.

🌟 Core Features:

• Data-Driven Stats: No hardcoded health or mana. Create limitless stats using Data Assets.

• Advanced Effect System (UObject): Handle Instant damage, HasDuration buffs, or Infinite DoTs (Damage over Time) like poison swamps.

• AAA RPG Mechanics: Built-in support for Stacking, Cleansing (Antidotes), Immunities (Must Not Have Tags), and Dynamic Costs.

• Visual & Audio Cues: Completely decoupled visual system. Spawn Niagara particles, play sounds, or trigger custom Blueprint cue actors automatically when a tag is granted.

• Pre-Stat Change Override: Ultimate freedom! Intercept incoming damage to easily create Mana Shields, Immortality buffs, or One-Shot protections entirely in Blueprint.

• UI Async Task Nodes: Listen to stat changes flawlessly without spaghetti Blueprint code.

🌐 Multiplayer-Ready Architecture:
Built from the ground up for multiplayer. All stat modifications and effect applications are strictly Server-Authoritative. Clients simply request actions via Server RPCs, and the framework automatically diffs and replicates stat values and tag states to all clients perfectly.
