InheritanceDataBlocks

Allows developers to specify an additional field in any vanilla datablock, parentID. This causes the block to pull data from the given ID to fill any non-specified fields.

Note for Partial Data users

InheritanceDataBlocks is only compatible with the AWOPartialDataFixer version of partial data. On Flow's (normal) version, it will only work for vanilla datablocks and datablocks cannot use text IDs.

Example

GameData_ArchetypeDataBlock_bin.json

// Creates a new archetype using values from ID 5
// but with Damage and DefaultClipSize changed
{
    "Damage": 4,
    "DefaultClipSize": 50,
    "parentID": 5,
    "name": "Assault Rifle Upgraded",
    "persistentID": 205
},
// Creates a new archetype using values from ID 205 (which borrows from ID 5)
// but with Damage and DefaultReloadTime changed
{
    "Damage": 5,
    "DefaultReloadTime": 1.0,
    "parentID": 205,
    "name": "Assault Rifle Upgraded Stage 2",
    "persistentID": 305
}
