# Making it Work

## Components

Give the [skill-interpreter](https://stylishesper.gitbook.io/skill-tree/systems/skill-tree/components/skill-interpreter "mention") component to your player character to do something when a certain skill is used.

Give the [unit-stats-provider](https://stylishesper.gitbook.io/skill-tree/systems/stats/components/unit-stats-provider "mention") component to your player character to give them stats.

## Summary of The Order

The order to get your skills working is quite simple.

1. Drag the [default-prefabs](https://stylishesper.gitbook.io/skill-tree/quick-start/default-prefabs "mention") onto your scene.
2. Create your skills in the [editor-window](https://stylishesper.gitbook.io/skill-tree/systems/skill-tree/editor-window "mention").
3. Give the [skill-interpreter](https://stylishesper.gitbook.io/skill-tree/systems/skill-tree/components/skill-interpreter "mention") and [unit-stats-provider](https://stylishesper.gitbook.io/skill-tree/systems/stats/components/unit-stats-provider "mention") components to your player character and set them up.

You do have to code your own skills. Remember, Skill Tree is not a skill creator and doesn't advertise itself as one. If you're new to programming, try checking out the demo scene in the `Assets/StylishEsper/SkillTree/Example` folder.

## Scripting

Remember to use the namespace `Esper.SkillTree`.

### Initialization

Use `SkillTree.Initialize()` to initialize Skill Tree. This is required to get it working properly. You can use the [skill-tree-initializer](https://stylishesper.gitbook.io/skill-tree/systems/skill-tree/components/skill-tree-initializer "mention") component.

It may be required to call `SkillTree.ClearData()` when Skill Tree's functionality is no longer needed. The initializer component calls this automatically as necessary.

### Handling Level Up

Whenever your player levels up, call `SkillTree.SetPlayerLevel()`, as this will let Skill Tree know what level the player currently is.

### Setting Skill Points

You can set the player's current skill points with `SkillTree.playerSkillPoints`.

### Completing Skill Use

Skill Tree prevents the usage of skills by a character if they are already in the middle of using one. Call `SkillTree.CompleteSkillUse` to let Skill Tree know that the character should now be free to use another skill.

If you have any issues, please see the [getting-help](https://stylishesper.gitbook.io/skill-tree/support/getting-help "mention") page.
