Advanced Variables

Advanced Variables: Industrial-Grade Reactive Architecture Stop poll-checking in Update()! Elevate your Unity architecture with an industrial-grade variable system engineered for AAA-scale projects — now with full multiplayer networking, query pipelines, encrypted persistence, and 18 variable types.

Advanced Variables decouples your game's data from its logic, letting designers balance stats via ScriptableObjects while developers build robust, event-driven systems future-proof for Unity 2022.3 LTS and Unity 6+.

Top Features

• 18 Variable Types: Int, Float, Bool, String, Vector2/3, Vector2Int/3Int, Color/Color32, Double, Long, AnimationCurve, Gradient, LayerMask, Tag, Enum, plus ClampedInt/ClampedFloat with premium range sliders.
• Reactive Architecture: Built on the AdvancedEvent engine — baked delegates with zero reflection overhead, faster than UnityEvents. Every variable exposes OnValueChanged, OnPreValueChange, and OnPostValueChange for validation, analytics, and networking.
• Multiplayer-Ready (NEW): Bundled network providers for Netcode (NGO), Mirror, FishNet, and Photon Fusion — zero errors when packages are absent. Delta compression (Int/Float/Vector3), authority modes (LocalOnly/Server/Client), and state interpolation with auto-created runners.
• Variable Queries & Channels (NEW): Aggregate multiple sources via VariableQuery<T> (Sum/Product/Min/Max) with zero-allocation pooled buffers. Cross-scene broadcast channels (IntChannel, FloatChannel, BoolChannel, StringChannel, Vector3Channel) for fully decoupled communication.
• Cloud-Ready Async Persistence: Built-in JSON, AES-256 encrypted JSON, and PlayerPrefs providers. Native asynchronous batching for cloud backends (Unity UGS, PlayFab) — zero main-thread freezes. BinaryPersistenceProvider migrated to EncryptedJsonProvider.
• Zero-Code UI Binding: 11 plug-and-play components — VariableToText, VariableToTMPText (reflection-based, zero TMP dependency), VariableToToggle, VariableToDropdown, VariableToInputField, VariableToVisibility, VariableToAnimator, VariableToScrollbar, VariableToDropdownOptions, VariableToSlider, VariableToImageFill — all with optional weak listeners.
• Professional Editor Tooling: Global Debugger, Batch Editor, Reference Tracker, and State Viewer — all under Tools > Advanced Variables. Real-time Play Mode monitoring, bulk editing across all variable assets, and scene/prefab reference discovery.
• Async Sequencing: Native await variable.WaitUntil(predicate, timeout, cancellationToken) support with timeout and cancellation for robust tutorial and cutscene sequencing.

Why Choose Advanced Variables?

• Performance Focused: GC-friendly, zero-allocation batch saves, UnityEngine.Pool integration.
• Burst & DOTS Optimized: Native NativeReference<T> integration via IJobSafeVariable<T> for 10 types.
• Cross-Version Compatible: Verified across Unity 2021.3 LTS through Unity 6+.
• Namespace Migration: Tools.Variables → PixelForge.Variables with full [MovedFrom] backward compatibility — existing scenes, prefabs, and assets upgrade automatically.
• Battle-Hardened: 100% unit tested, 7 demo scenes, production-ready.
