The problem here is that I have different properties for different tower types in TowerSO, for example unit tower has properties like(spawnDelay, maximumUnitsToSpawn) and archer tower doesn't need this info, so I guess it is not good approach because if there will be a new tower type with additional properties it would mean that TowerSO will grow more.

Also I want to be able to initialize tower when it's Instantiated but now I don't know what tower I am instantiating and I don't want to add some generic if like (towerType == ArcherTower).

 GameObject tower = Instantiate(currentlySelectedTowerSO.prefab,  new Vector3(gridPosition.x + xOffset, gridPosition.y + yOffset, currentlySelectedTowerSO.prefab.transform.position.z), Quaternion.identity);  // initialize knigh tower(if it is a knight tower)  tower.GetComponent<KnightTower>().Initialize(maxUnitNumber, spawnDelay);   // initialize archer tower(if it is an archer tower) tower.GetComponent<KnightTower>().Initialize(minDamage, maxDamage, arrowSpeed); 

So my question is, how do I separate different tower properties to different Scriptable Objects(with completely different fields) and also how do I initialize them passing relative arguments to each tower.
For ArcherTower (min-max damage, arrowSpeed...) For UnitTower(MaxUnitNumber, SpawnDelay)
Thanks!

I am creating a tower defense game.

Currently I have 2 different tower types 'Shooting tower', amd 'Unit tower'.

I have a Scriptable object to initialize the tower. It contains some tower properties like its attack radius, damage and so on.

I am initializing my towers from a ScriptableObject called TowerSO, it also contains a prefab for a tower.

The problem here is that I have different properties for different tower types stored in TowerSO, for example, the unit tower has properties like spawnDelay, maximumUnitsToSpawn, while the archer tower doesn't need this info.

So I guess it is not good approach because anytime I add a new tower type with additional properties it would mean that TowerSO will grow more. 

I also want to be able to initialize each tower when it's Instantiated but now I don't know what tower I am instantiating and I don't want to add specialized conditional logic for each type like if (towerType == ArcherTower)

Currently my code looks like this:

GameObject tower = Instantiate( currentlySelectedTowerSO.prefab,   new Vector3(gridPosition.x + xOffset, gridPosition.y + yOffset, currentlySelectedTowerSO.prefab.transform.position.z),   Quaternion.identity); // initialize knight tower(if it is a knight tower) tower.GetComponent<KnightTower>().Initialize(maxUnitNumber, spawnDelay);   // initialize archer tower(if it is an archer tower)   tower.GetComponent<KnightTower>().Initialize(minDamage, maxDamage, arrowSpeed); 

How do I separate different tower properties to different Scriptable Objects with completely different fields, and also how do I initialize them, passing relative arguments to each tower?
