🎯 Task: Weapon Type System & Global Score Manager

Goal:

Create a small Unity project that uses ScriptableObject for:

1. Storing configuration for different weapon types (damage, attack speed, name, icon).
2. Replacing a singleton — a global player score storage accessible from any scene and any script without a static Instance.
3. Integration — weapons increase the score through the global storage.

---

🧱 Steps to implement

1. Create WeaponSO ScriptableObject
   Fields: weaponName (string), damage (int), attackSpeed (float), icon (Sprite), prefab (GameObject — reference to a visual weapon model).
2. Create GlobalScoreSO ScriptableObject
   Fields: score (int).
   Methods: AddScore(int value), ResetScore().
3. Create several weapon assets via Create → Game/Weapon:
   • Sword (damage=10, attackSpeed=1.0)
   • Bow (damage=7, attackSpeed=1.5)
   • Staff (damage=15, attackSpeed=0.8)
4. Create WeaponPickup script (MonoBehaviour)
   • Has a public field WeaponSO weaponData.
   • In OnTriggerEnter (or on click) when picking up the weapon:
     • Logs to the console: "Picked up {weaponName}, damage {damage}".
     • Adds the weapon's damage to the global score: GlobalScoreSO.AddScore(weaponData.damage).
     • Destroys the scene object.
5. Create ScoreUI script (MonoBehaviour)
   • Reference to GlobalScoreSO.
   • In Update() (or via an event) updates a UI Text field: Score: {score}.
6. Scene setup:
   • Place 3 different pickup items on the scene (prefabs or simple cubes with colliders).
   • Assign each its own WeaponSO (Sword, Bow, Staff).
   • Add a simple UI Text to display the score.
   • Put ScoreUI and GlobalScoreSO on an empty GameObject.
7. Verify singleton replacement
   • Ensure there is no public static GlobalScoreSO Instance anywhere.
   • Instead, the reference to GlobalScoreSO is manually dragged into the Inspector of any script that needs the score.

✅ Success Criteria

• Picking up a sword increases the score by 10.
• Picking up a bow increases it by 7, etc.
• When reloading the scene (or moving to a new scene), the score does NOT reset automatically (unless you call ResetScore()).
• All weapon configurations live in separate .asset files and can be changed without rewriting code.

---

🧠 Bonus (optional)

• Add a WeaponEventSO (another ScriptableObject) as an event channel. When a weapon is picked up, it fires an event, and ScoreUI listens to it — then ScoreUI doesn't need an Update() call every frame.
• Create a "Reset Score" button that calls GlobalScoreSO.ResetScore().

Solution:

🧩 1. ScriptableObject: Weapon (WeaponSO.cs)

🧩 2. ScriptableObject: Global Score (GlobalScoreSO.cs)

🧩 3. Weapon Pickup Component (WeaponPickup.cs)

🧩 4. Score UI Display (ScoreUI.cs)

🧩 5. (Bonus) Reset Score Button Script (ResetScoreButton.cs)
