✨ Why you’ll love it
⚔️ Seamless in-combat switching – Current velocity, combo state, combat target and even equipped melee weapon move with the new avatar, so combos never break and enemies stay locked-on.
????️Shooter/Melee Equipment Synchronization – Synchronizes shooter/melee weapons across all characters, preventing mismatches and ensuring consistent weapon states during rapid switches.
????️ Smart visibility & physics control – Off-screen characters hop to a hidden layer, disable colliders/rigidbodies and follow at a tidy offset to save perf.
???? Fully event-driven – Hook into OnCharacterIndexChanged, onCharacterSelected, onCharacterDeselected, landing/jump callbacks and more to drive VFX, UI or custom logic.
???? Crystal Save ready – Tick one box and Character Switcher auto-writes active/inactive states to MemoryPack saves—no extra visual-scripting required.
???? Singleton convenience – A persistent CharacterSwitcher.Instance gives any script instant access to the active player, previous player, or the full roster.
???? Input-agnostic – Map any Unity Input System action (keyboard, gamepad, touch) to direct-slot, next/previous or radial selection straight out of the box.
???? Feature highlights
???? Combat-target sync — primary GC2 target transfers automatically so combo finishers still land.
????️ Per-character weapon slots — assign default weapons in the Inspector or swap them at runtime.
???? Hot-swap API — AddCharacter, RemoveCharacter, ReplaceCharacter, ReplaceWeaponAt, etc., let designers edit the party live.
???? Ground / air offsets — keep off-screen heroes neatly stacked on the ground or bobbing beside a flying main character.
???? Quick-start
Add the component to any empty GameObject (or drop the prefab from the sample scene).
Drag your character prefabs into the list and assign their default melee weapons.
Bind your input actions (or use the demo map).
Hit Play – swap heroes mid-combo, mid-air, even while saving—zero extra setup.
