Asset(s) for in-game notifications?

News & General Discussion
1

Anyone had any experience with an asset for in-game notifications - like for achievements or other messages?

Searching the asset store doesn’t come up with too many options, and several seem to have not been updated in some time. I definitely need something that will support queues and multiple notifications sliding in/moving out - as well as some notifications requiring a response. And the fact they need to be called via script and customized icon/etc is tablestakes.

From my search, Overseer Notifications and uDialog seem like the only real options - I think I have to be missing other options that people are using!

Thx!

I don’t know about any assets that do it, but it is pretty simple to create, there is even a tutorial for it:

Thanks - actually already seen that tutorial - works for a single dialog, but not really managing a queue of multiple notifications, each animating in, stacking and animating out.

Just figured there had to be a wheel everyone was using before I have to write something from scratch

Any recommendations on this topic? We too have this need for in-game notifications. Did you find anything out there or did you roll your own in the end?

Thanks.

You should open a new thread, this one is 2 years old. OP has not been online since December 2018.

It’s not exactly a big technical challenge to implement a queuing system.
