When and when should I not create classes in my game?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m having trouble with knowing when I should be create classes for stuff like the title suggests.

Let’s say I wanted to make a tower defense type game, would I make classes for towers, the guns of those towers, the effects for those towers, etc?

It feels a bit extra when I have like 30 modules scripts for just ONE system.

I know that I don’t need to make modules scripts for every system but I just need to know when it’s necessary or not

It depends! With classes, you game will be more easy to edit and add new updates or code changes.

Thanks for the reply! Is there any way you’d be able to provide details about the tower defense example I was inquiring about in the original post? Thanks!

nevermind, you are making a tower defense game.

i recommend you make the character design first, put it into the game, and then work on their abilities and them animations.

Sorry for the late reply, okay let me try to explain in detail what I need assistance with:

If I was making a tower defense game with a Tower class, how many module scripts would I have to make to pair with it?

For example: a Gun class or a Special Abilities class

Anything substantial that doesn’t need the self variable of your tower should probably be a new class
