How the systems connect

One operation. Several clear owners.

These examples show the boundary between one SGF mechanism and the next. For genre-level assemblies, explore the game compositions.

01 / System flow

A melee contact

Detection is not a damage formula.

SGF

  1. StormCombat

    Detects an authored melee contact.

  2. Your resolver

    Chooses its effect using the game's rules.

  3. Body or abilities

    Optionally respond through StormBody and abilities.

02 / System flow

An equipped weapon

Item identity, possession and equipment are separate responsibilities.

SGF

  1. StormItems

    Identifies the item.

  2. StormInventory

    Optionally owns it.

  3. First-party adapter

    Requests a tagged StormEquipment slot change.

  4. Weapon / appearance adapters

    Optionally respond to the equipment change.

03 / System flow

An enemy crosses an obstacle

Planning a crossing is not supplying an animation.

SGFAI SGF

  1. SGFAI route

    Route planning includes a traversal edge.

  2. StormTraversal

    Selects and rechecks a provider.

  3. Project movement

    Game-authored movement executes.

  4. Route outcome

    The outcome returns to the route.

04 / System flow

A world event chooses a place

World identity does not define the event.

SGFWorld SGFWorldDirectorAdapter SGFDirector

  1. SGFWorld

    Describes meaningful areas.

  2. SGFWorldDirectorAdapter

    Queries a valid loaded place.

  3. SGFDirector

    Checks conditions and objectives.

  4. Game script

    A studio-authored event script acts.

05 / System flow

A vehicle returns from save

Fuel and doors may persist; occupancy is re-evaluated.

SGFTransport SGFTransportSave SGFSave

  1. SGFTransport

    Maintains vehicle state.

  2. SGFTransportSave

    Captures durable properties.

  3. SGFSave
