*logic Game Nodes are used to create custom gamemodes or custom gameplay systems
*For Per Player logic, UGC Game Nodes are currently necessary due to them being the only real way to grab player references
*The UGC Games Activity currently works off splitting the Game State into three states; Pre-Game, Game, and Post-Game. Because of this it is required to place down a Game State Node even if nothing is necessarily needed to be linked to it (this has now changed, Game State Nodes are no longer necessary but can still be used to split the game mode into different states)
*The Game State Branch Node works by triggering logic when these three states are activated, allowing for an easy way to make logic for each specific state
*Per Player Variables are available, mainly in a numerical form through the Player Score Node, which holds a number value per player, making it versatile and easy to use for things such as player currency, resources etc.
*Custom Spawning is available by turning off Automatic Respawning in Publishing Settings
*An important thing to remember is that for Player vs Player (PvP) gameplay, if you want individual players to be hostile with one another, you must use the Set Faction Node to make them hostile

Common Issues When Using Logic

Logic is a powerful visual scripting system that lets you create game logic without needing to write code. It is designed to be user-friendly and accessible, even for those who are not familiar with traditional programming.

In ARCADIA, logic is a visual scripting tool that you can place directly within the 3D world, your ARC. Logic is only visible while you are in Build mode, and invisible in Play mode. Think of logic as interactive objects that represent various functions, variables, and events. Each logic node performs specific actions, such as moving characters, triggering animations, or handling player input.

To create game logic, you simply drag and drop these logic nodes from the catalogue into the 3D environment. Once placed, you can connect them using visual links, which represent the flow of actions and data between different nodes and objects. This approach allows you to see and interact with your game logic in a spatial context, making it easier to understand and manage complex behaviours.
