Script

To get started creating characters, just
drag the ‘Male Character ’-prefab into
the scene.
(I would recommend making a copy of the prefab in
case you overwrite it while creating a character )

The prefab has all the art and the animations for each direction.
To help to build characters in the editor
there is a script , it ’s already added in
the parent object of the prefab.

HELP SCRIPT
Put the appropriate sprite from the texture atlas in the correct body part slot , it can be hard to visually
see so you want to read the name of the sprites which tell you where it intends to go . There are also example characters done in the package that you can have a look at .
Use the ‘Down’ direction sprites when adding equipment, so look for sprite names with ‘down’ in them.
When you feel happy with the character, click the ‘Update Sprites’-button on the top and the equipment
will be applied to all the directions.
Please note that this is a simple script to help you build characters in the editor, it ’s not intended to be a
custom character creation system.

HINT: An easy way to find the assets you are looking for, click a sprite slot in the inspect and it will , in the
project window, bring you to where you can find the correct assets in the atlas .

If the head proportion isn’t to your taste , it ’s possible to
scale it down or up from the root object called
‘head’. You would need to do this for all 4 directions.

TECHNICAL DETAILS
The Character comes in 3 directions, facing up, down and to the side(flip it for both directions).
Each has its own parent object and contain all the sprites and animations ready to use.

The character is divided into different parts to allow joint animations . Each part has a sprite and
can be changed and colored to create different characters or allow players to customize his character.
Sprites name have different prefix depending on which direction they belong to, for an example
‘Body| Down|’ assets belong to the down direction of the character.

TINTABLE SPRITES
All body parts and most of the item sprites have a tintable version which you can give a unique color,
you can find them by the suffix ‘ tintable’ in their asset names. These assets are made to work with Unity 's default color attribute. It ’s as easy as selecting the object in the scene hierarchy and then picking a
color under sprite Tenderer in the inspector.

CUSTOMIZABLE SLOTS
The characters hierarchy contains parents acting
as slots where you change clothes, hair, facial hair
etc , These can easily be identified by their prefix
’. Just change the sprite of the gameobject
child of these slots . Some clothes contain multiple
parts , like the plate armour contain a sprite for the
chest and the body. The suffix will tell which sprite
goes where. For an example, ‘shirt_down_chest ’
is a shirt that is used on the chest of the character
facing down.
You can also create and put your own art in these
slots .
