# Overview

The Skill Tree Maker Importer is a Unity asset that allows you to import skill trees created in [Skill Tree Maker](https://www.rpgskilltreegenerator.com/) directly into Unity.\
The system automatically converts the exported .json file into ScriptableObjects, and then builds an interactive skill tree inside a Unity UI Canvas.

### Features

* Import skill trees from .json files exported by Skill Tree Maker.
* Automatic conversion into ScriptableObjects.
* Automatic instantiation of nodes and connections inside a Canvas.
* Fully interactive skill tree ready to use in your game.
* Support for skill icons, descriptions, prerequisites, and dependencies.
* Customizable and expandable with your own logic.

## System Overview

The importer is divided into two main systems:

#### 1 - Import System (JSON → ScriptableObjects)

* Reads the exported .json file.\ <br>
* Converts every skill into a SkillNodeData ScriptableObject.\ <br>
* Automatically organizes nodes into folders inside your Unity project.\ <br>
* Nodes can be manually edited after import (change icons, descriptions, etc.).

#### 2 - Builder System (ScriptableObjects → Canvas UI)

* Reads all imported SkillNodeData.\ <br>
* Dynamically instantiates UI nodes on a Canvas.\ <br>
* Connects the nodes with lines representing prerequisites.\ <br>
* Provides interactivity (selection, tooltips, visual feedback, etc.).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://smilingeclipse.gitbook.io/skill-tree-maker-importer/readme.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
