I’m starting to understand a bit of Unity scripting with Javascript, and I realize that is possible to do lots of things…
Well, I was wondering if is possible to get information directly from the web, like having on a FTP site lots of textures and tell Unity3D to load the texture directly from there…this is just an example, a concrete one will be to have some kind of weather system in Unity3D that allows you to see the weather conditions on different locations.
Let’s be more clear:
The Island demo is an actual Island, lets say is an Island near Australia, I would like to setup a weather system with all the different conditions ( sunny, cloudy, rainy, storm, and so on… ) and linked to the local time.
So if I opee in my web browser this demo I can see in realtime what is the weather conditions there and what’s the time there.
It is possible to do something like that in Unity3d?
I am also looking real time weather system. I am pretty sure that this can be done.
In theory it should be something like this. A script is sitting on the weather website www.mycuteweatherchannel.com and giving out the messages. Sun = sunny weather; Rain = rainy weather; and etc.
And then on the other hand you have Unity web player that constantly checks every minute at the value that sits on the www.mycuteweatherchannel.com
If (currentWeather == sunny weather)
//initialize sunny weather prefabs
If (currentWeather == rainy weather)
//initialize rain prefabs
And so on.
You can go very specific with it. Like wind directions and so on. Sadly i dont know how the technical side of this works and what problems may there be. Its like loading jpg. image files from webcamera somewhere to get video feed into Unity. I am sure that there must be a way to read other info aswell.
More or less yeah,this is what I’m looking for,to just get the information (sunny,rainy,ecc…)directly from the website and transfer that information inside Unity3D.
I guess I need to start experimenting with it :),even if my programming skills are very basic
