# GameStatList

## Variables

#### Forcing posts to Blackboard

While each `Stat` object can post it's information to the `Blackboard`, it may not be ideal to have all actors with `Stat` data doing so, especially in projects with many enemies. The values of these bools are `false`, but if set `true`, then `Stats` in this `GameStatList` will post their data to `Blackboard`, only for this list.

<pre class="language-csharp"><code class="lang-csharp">// If true, objects will post to blackboard even if they are individual 
// set to not post
<strong>public bool forcePostToBlackboard = false; 
</strong><strong>
</strong>// If true, when objects post, they will be forced to notify followers of the 
// blackboard
public bool forceNotifyOnPost = false; 

// Example
public void YourActorStartActions()
{
    //  Ensure the GameStatList stats and GameStatList skills post to blackboard
    stats.forcePostToBlackboard = true;
    stats.forceNotifyOnPost = true;
    skills.forcePostToBlackboard = true;
    skills.forceNotifyOnPost = true;
    
    // Other Start Actions
}
</code></pre>

Returns `Dictionary<string, float>` with the Point value for all "Counter" stats, or all `GameStats` in the list. Counter stats are those which can't be trained or modified. By default only the `Point` value will be returned. Optionally include `BaseValue` as well.

<pre class="language-csharp"><code class="lang-csharp">/* Optional parameters
bool keyIsObjectName = true // if false, key will be Uid()
bool countersOnly = true // if false, all stats will be included
bool includeBaseValue = false // if true, return will include Points + BaseValue
*/

<strong>var allCounters = gameStatList.GetAllPoints();
</strong><strong>var counterPointsAndBaseValue = gameStatList.GetAllPoints(true, true, true);
</strong></code></pre>
