Behaviour & Component Parameters

Slider

Use: Selects a number within a predefined range, or minimum and maximum values.

How to Interact: Click and drag the slider left to decrease or right to increase the number.

Example:

In the Health component, objects with a higher defense Attribute will have a larger range in the health slider.

Drop Down

Use: Choose from or add to a list of multiple text-based selections.

How to Interact: Click on the Drop Down to open it, then select a pre-defined option or add an option if possible.

Example: The Speaker Component's Drop Down allows you to choose 'Detect Entity' or 'Wait for Message.' If you choose 'Wait for Message,' a second menu will open and allow you to choose a pre-existing option or create a new one.

Long and Short Text

Use: Entering custom text. Most text parameters permit rich text formatting.

How to Interact: You may need to select 'Rename' from a menu or click in a text box and begin typing for this kind of parameter. Test with the TAB key to be sure it appears properly.

Example: An Asker Behaviour allows for a short text entry for the 'Speaker Name' and a longer text entry for the 'Question.'

Menus

Use: Open a pop up window to select an option. This mainly for choosing Behaviours, Components, assets to spawn, specific assets in an experience, etc.

How to Interact: Click on the icon that looks like a pencil inside of a square to open a menu.

Example: For the Asset Spawner Behaviour, click on the field next to 'Asset to Spawn' to open a window and choose an asset to spawn from your Library. Below this, you can select the behaviour for the spawned object by clicking on the pencil to open the window of behaviour options.

Numerical

Use: When a number is required for logic to function properly. This parameter is also available with most sliders for convenience.

How to Interact: Click on the box and type the number value.

Example: The Asset Spawner Behaviour allows you to offset where an object is spawned in relation to the object with this behaviour, by modifying X, Y, and Z values.

Broadcast Types

In any behavior or component, setting the Broadcast Type allows you to choose the message's destination precisely:

• All - All objects, quests, rules, etc.

• Everyone in Range - Every object within the range you specify

• Specific Tags in Range - Every object within the range you specify with specific tags applied

• Selected Actors - Specific objects (an instance of an asset) Click to select an Object placed in the Experience as the Target. Press to remove a Target from the list.

• Collided/Hit Actors - Send to objects a Projectile behavour or Raycast component has detected collision with

• Self - The object which broadcasted the message

• Team - Select an existing team, defined by Spawn Point behavior
