Injector

Injectors contribute to building a Stat's final value during the Stat update process.

During each Stat update, the Stat's Modified Value is initialized from its Raw Value (plus Modifiers). The assigned Injectors are then applied sequentially according to their Injection Order. See How Stat Values Are Evaluated.

There are two families:

Family	Value comes from	Asset	Definition asset
Injector	a constant on the asset	Injector Model	Injector Definition
Linker	another Stat (the Injector Stat)	Linker Model	Linker Definition

Attaching them

How	Lifetime
In a Stat Definition's Injectors list (an Injector or Linker Definition)	always, on every Actor that has the Stat
With an Injector Effect or a Linker Effect	while the Effect's Modifier lives; Temporary + Managed By Code Linker Effects in an Actor's Effect Bundle live as long as the Actor

Injectors added by Effects can be removed by tag with an Injector Remover Effect.

Stat Injector → Linker

Older versions called Linkers Stat Injectors (StatInjectorModel_*, StatInjectorDefinitionModel). They are now LinkerModel_* and LinkerDefinitionModel. The separate Add, Multiply and Rate Stat Injectors were merged into Combine, and the Add / Multiply / Rate Value By Condition ones into Combine By Condition.

Linking Stats from the Power Editor

Power Editor › Stat › Link To Stat links a Stat to another in one step. When both Stats are in the same Environment it adds a Linker Definition to the target Stat's Injectors. When they are in different Environments it adds a Linker Effect to an Effect Bundle Stat of the source Environment ({SourceEnv}To{TargetEnv}Linker, created when missing), so only Actors that have the source Environment get the link.

Example

An Injector multiplies PhysicalAttack by 2, and a Linker adds Strength to it. Both sit in the Stat Definition's Injectors list, so they run in Injection Order on every update:

Stat: PhysicalAttack

Default:10

Injectors:InjectorDefinition_Double (order 0)LinkerDefinition_StrengthToAttack (order 1)

Injector: InjectorDefinition_Double

Injects Into:PhysicalAttack

Injected Value:Combine, Multiplier 2

Order:0

Injector: LinkerDefinition_StrengthToAttack

Injects Into:PhysicalAttack

Injected Value:Combine, Flat — Injector Stat: Strength

Order:1

Step	Value
Raw Value	10
Injector (× 2)	20
Linker (+ Strength 5)	25 — the Modified Value

When Strength changes to 8, PhysicalAttack updates on its own to 28.
