Hi is it possible to create an addon in Unity that other Unity developers can easily import and use in their games? I’d like to build an addon that accesses some information on the internet AND/OR be able to sms capabilities for Unity Iphone/Android etc…? Otherwise would I need to make an addon in UnityIphone and a separate one for UnityAndroid?
Hopefully I put this is the right section, my apologies if not!
Hi, welcome to the forum!
You can access the internet from an ordinary script using the WWW and WWWForm classes. You can access the platform’s native API using a plugin (see here for more information). In general, scripts and plugins can be exchanged between developers without problems.
hi andeeee, thanks for the reply!
I think my question is based more on mobile devices such as the iphone or the android? Should i repost my questions in those sections?
My question would be: if I can make a unity iphone/android plugin that could access the phone’s sms (text message) api and my plugin would be able to send and recieve texts within the game?
if the api allows it then yes its possible on the iphone.
on the android, it might be harder to impossible cause those things are all java and unity runs as native code application (NDK)
