Using Scriptable objects withouth IF

Hello.
im trying to make a character selction, and im using Scriptable objects to store all the data of the character, such as stats, mesh, materials, skills, etc.

so my question is, how can i make a way to set all the player settings into the CharacterX, ,withouth using just an IF statement for each character. (theres gonna be a lot of characters).
`

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.  
3. public KCharacter Char1;
4. private int characterID;
5.  
6.     [Header("Player Skin Slots")] //M1
7.     public SkinnedMeshRenderer PlayerSkin;
8.  
9.     void Start()
10.     {
11.  
12.         characterID = CharacterSelection.CharacterID;
13. PlayerSelect()
14.  
15.     }
16.     void PlayerSelect()
17.     {
18.  
19.         PlayerSkin.sharedMesh = Char1.CharacterSkin;
20.         PlayerSkin.materials = Char1.CharacterSkinMat;
21.       }
22.  

This is just an eaxmple of the code im using. What i plan to do is just add char2,3,4, and so. Is there any way that i can tell unity to just use all the settings from CharX scriptable gameobject to replace the Player game objects?
i cant use prefabs to replace the whole player.

 

Don't hard code your player to use data from Char1, but from whatever character they've selected from the list of options.

psuedocode:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. CharacterDataScriptableObject chosenCharacter;
3.  
4. void OnCharacterPortraitClickedViaUserInterface(Portrait portrait)
5. {
6.    chosenCharacter = portrait.characterDataScriptableObject; // portrait stores a reference to the character SO that this portrait represents
7. }
8.  
9. void OnStartGame()
10. {
11.     Character prefabInstance = Instantiate<Character>(); // "blank" character
12.     prefabInstance.hat = chosenCharacter.hat; // fill in the data from our chosen character SO
13.     prefabInstance.dance = chosenCharacter.dance;
14. }
15.  

 

Thanks, that was really usefull!
