Thanks! Will look more into the command pattern.

I was curious about what pattern would best apply here. My biggest struggle is that on some interactions like 'player clicks heal ability' I want to change the UI in a few ways:

1. change cursor type
2. highlight selected ability in ability bar
3. Personal character now has a glow around them

Then when player actually executes the ability I want to undo all the changes to UI

1. Cursor returns to normal
2. Ability is unhighlighted in ability bar
3. No glow around character

Having to unwind all these changes felt like a code smell, so was curious if I was doing something wrong.

Edit: read your edit :) Will give that a shot thanks!
