Scriptable Variable

It seems like you might need to have every individual variable be its own scriptable object, so for 50 enemies, each enemy’s HP would be 50 different scriptable variables?

Yes. If you don’t want to create the variables beforehand, you can instantiate Scriptable variables at runtime containing the HP and pass it as a reference to your different systems (see Runtime Variables).

However, maybe that is not the best approach. Scriptable variables are best for things that have dependencies with other systems but are singular. It suits more for things like Player HP or a Boss HP as well. For many enemies maybe it's overkill.

Most of the time, if there are a lot of enemies, you don’t really want or need to solve dependency with their individual stats. Instead, the most common use case is to create a Scriptable List of enemies that you can reference anywhere (solving most of your dependencies) and access their stats there.
