[SOLVED] How do I set up Splash Screen & User Interface?
« on: March 03, 2016, 05:46:51 PM »
How do I set up a splash screen and user interface with playmaker?  I've looked around but haven't found the "good stuff."

Or is this even a strong point for playmaker, and maybe Unity has a built in function what works better?  I tried making a splash screen in Unity, but it felt more like a hack than actually the way to go about it.

Hi,

 on Mobile, Splash Screens are built in, but you need Unity Mobile Pro to allow custom splash screens...

 if you want your own splash screen, it's really just a matter of using Unity UI and have a full screen Sprite that you have visible at the beginning of the app ( as setup in editor, so that there is no glitch), and you fade that image away or hide it when you want to show your app content.

 Don't overthink this, it's really just an image that takes the whole screen.

 Else, can you detail what you expect?

Bye,

 Jean

Sure thanks.  So I have a 3D world game built for pc.  I want to show a splash screen for a few second to show my logo or whatever and then into a menu system: New Game, Load Game, Options, Exit.

Hi,

 yep, use a simple UI Image, that's perfect and simple. It's not a hack, it's a feature :)


Bye,

SOLVED

I just used a tutorial on youtube to set up a splash screen and a start menu.  It's totally awesome now and it basically rocks.

I used this for start menu setup:
