Step 10: Effects
Goal
Understand how to modify Attributes on a different through effects.
Attributes on Other Characters

Effect
In PAT, we are using Effect to modify attributes on other P Entities.
Effects are scriptable objects. You may find an example through Attack1. The Attack with Hitbox Mod is a State Modifier that sends a list of Effects through colliders.
If you click on to the Scriptable Object, you should see this:
To put this in a simple way, what matters here is the EffectModValue part.
You will find it working just like the Use Attribute Mod, also with a Resource Tag and a value. But there is a lot more about Effects. You can find details in the link below:
