Getting Started

Follow these steps to start using GameShell UI - Time Resource in your Unity project:

1. Import the Asset

• Purchase and download the GameShell UI - Time Resource asset from the Unity Asset Store.

• Open your Unity project.

• Go to Assets > Import Package > Custom Package.

• Select the downloaded .unitypackage file and click 'Open'.

• In the Import dialog, ensure all items are selected and click 'Import'.

2. Create Time Resource Scriptable Objects

• In the Project window, right-click and select Create > GameShell > UI > TimeResource > GSUITimeResource.

• Name your new time resource (e.g., "EnergyResource").

• Select the created Scriptable Object and configure its properties in the Inspector:

• Set the resourceTimeSeconds (time interval for regeneration)

• Adjust the max value (maximum resource amount)

• Set the refillRate (amount regenerated per interval)

3. Set Up Your Scene

• Create empty GameObjects for each time resource you want to use (e.g., "EnergyManager").

• Add the appropriate component script to each GameObject (e.g., "EnergyBar" script for energy system).

• In the Inspector, assign the GSUITimeResource Scriptable Object you created to the corresponding field in the component.

4. Implement UI Elements

• Create UI elements for displaying resource amounts and timers (e.g., Text components for energy amount and regeneration timer).

• Assign these UI elements to the corresponding fields in your manager scripts (e.g., EnergyBar script).

5. Write Game Logic

• Create a new script for your game logic (e.g., "GameManager").

• Add references to your time resource manager scripts.

• Implement methods to consume resources, check resource availability, and react to resource changes.
