Creating Item Types

It's not at all recommended to create item types at runtime, but it is possible. Item types are scriptable objects which cannot be created as assets at runtime for later use. You would need to load your generated item types on your own.

ItemType myItemType = ScriptableObject.CreateInstance<ItemType>();

Item type IDs must be unique. When creating item types from the Item Type Manager, unique IDs are set automatically. However, this is not done when creating item types at runtime. You'd need to create your own method of ensuring IDs of generated item types are unique.
