How would one go about making a "skin" change option(Solved) great info

Say, I wanted to make a scene were you could select from different skins, how would I make this show up when the Scene is loaded, on the player.

What do you mean by skin? change the model?, change the texture?, change the shader?

I have a 2D game, I build the animations in 2D toolkit, so I was wondering is there a way to change the look of the player/animation with ones that are preset up. like oh i don't want to look like a knight this time, i want to look like a wizard,bam starts new game selects wizard and done, game loads with the wizard loo in the new game.

That has nothing to do with Playmaker, take a look at the docs or tutorials for 2Dtoolkit. Depending on what apps you have you would have to either source the character art or produce it yourself. I assume you can just swap out the existing art.

Hi,

 yes, and ngui also has some amazing features like with one call you can swap the ui atlas and you have something looking completly different.

 the one thing I find hard when switching skin is that each skin has different widgets behavior, so you can't really turn a girafe into an elephant without actually having to design your girafe and elephant... so switching skin yes, but that's only a pur graphical switch, the behavior, size and meaning will be exactly the same, any other wish will require two different UI design and behavior, not just a skin swap.

your case is very like this I guess, cause a knight will have different behavior than a wizard, different animation names, different purpose basically. So I would think that you will need a different set all together, not just a graphic switch.

bye,

well for my game, a graphic change would work just fine. I was thinking for future ref. if it can be done, I was thinking of giving the option to the players who have helped support the game. like maybe make a char like them, but graphic will do just fine. ty
