Subclassing in Verse

In Verse, you can create a class that extends the definition of another class by adding or modifying the fields and methods of the other class. This is often called subclassing or inheritance, because one class inherits definitions from the other class.

Let’s look at the Class Designer device as an example of subclassing. With the Class Designer device, you can create character classes for player characters that let you define the attributes and inventories specific to a character class, such as a tank or DPS (damage per second) character.

In Verse, you could create a tank class and a dps class like this:

tank := class():
    StartingShields : int
    MaxShields : int
    AllowOvershield : logic
    DamageReduction : int
