Getting started with procedural generation of a level

Unity Engine
1

Hi All, I’m working a basic jump type game and I was wondering how I would get started with procedural generation . Can I just buy an asset for this , so far I have everything working except i’m actually designing all of the levels . .

Note: This is supposed to be a very short project , so nothing too difficult,

There’s a C# sidescroller runner tutorial. Maybe that’ll give you an idea where to start.

Thats perfect, thanks !

The graph tutorial there is rather nifty.

5

Word, I might write my own solution though , right now I already have it set up to enable or disable one of 3 objects per- row object and i can just instate once with each object( as well as deleted game objects after the user passes them )

Here’s the solution I’ve come up with thus far, probaly gonna fix it to delete itself based on a no-longer visable rather then a simple time delay , anyway , enjoy

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class Gen : MonoBehaviour {
	public float Y = 30 ;
	public bool Spawn = true ;
    public GameObject NewLane;
   public float life = 15 ; 
	public float delay = 3 ;
	
	private GameObject	B ;
	void Start () {

	
	//B = GameObject.Find("SpawnOn");
		StartCoroutine(Go()); 	

		
	}
	
	
	IEnumerator Go() {
        
		//	if ( B.active == false) {
		//Spawn = false;	
		//}
		
		yield return new WaitForSeconds (delay);
		if (Spawn == true) {
            GameObject clone;
            
			clone = Instantiate(NewLane, (transform.position + new Vector3(0,Y,0)), transform.rotation) as GameObject;
            //clone.velocity = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward * 10);
        yield return new WaitForSeconds (life*2);
// or just  put a number here
		Destroy(gameObject);
		}
    }
}

And the object i’m spawning have their own script which basically tells them to have one of 3 modes, selected at random . I plan on finishing this short little game this weekend .

Its actually pretty fun so far, uploading a demo to WIP soon !

There is a nice tool in the asset store that could help you with what you want to do. There are a load of videos on it at http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6E3DFE75D40659ED&feature=view_all
