I am still a beginner with 3d Unity, and have accomplished a main menu, character selection scene, choose faction scene, and have made my main map. I got several different types of characters, and building structures etc.
What I am trying to learn:
How to get a list of my building structures for the player to select houses, walls, tables etc. to put that item into the game wherever the player may choose.
(My purpose in what I am aiming for)
For most games a player will press “B” to open up a menu that the player can select “Buildings”, and is presented with a list of building types with pictures of each building. The player then can select a building of choice, and it is put into the game where the player can choose where to place the building at.
I am wanting to do this through UI canvas > dropdown list (called building) > select building (small, medium, large) > New sub list pops up with the pictures of buildings to choose from for that category. Then the player can select the building, and place it wherever they want in there game.
Where I am stuck at:
I am stuck on how to make a building type show up in the list with a picture of it, and place it in the scene.
I have spent a couple of hours trying to look up Character Object List, but to no avail.
What training, videos (that I have missed) do I need to look at to better understand how to do this process?
What I have so far:
In the main game I have the Canvas > Dropdown list name “Buildings” > option1 small > option2 medium > option3 large.
Another canvas for each option (small, medium, large) to populate the list of the specific buildings.
Thank you for your time and effort have a great day!
