Official Game Foundation 0.2.0 Now Available!

New:

• A new debug window for visualizing runtime states (under Play Mode)
  • You can find it under the editor menu: Windows > Game Foundation > Tools
• Introduced three new Detail types to associate your game assets with item definitions:
  • Sprite Assets Detail
  • Prefab Assets Detail
  • Audio Clip Assets Detail
• You can now define your own Custom Detail (refer to the updated Documents for more details on how to do this)
• We have added Sample Projects:
  • You can import them under Package Manager (by clicking on 'Import in project' button) if you're on unity version 2019.x.
  • If you're on 2018.3 / 4, we have made a standalone unity package you can download in the attachment of this post (note that you still need to install the Game Foundation package first before importing this package)
• Menu items now added links to the documentation and the user forums.

Improvements:

• We have re-designed the Stat Detail UI to make your workflow more intuitive
• You can now choose a Reference Definition while creating a new Inventory Item (which also pre-populates the Display Name and ID fields)
  
• Currency Detail now contains a Type and Sub-Type to make it more flexible to describe the nature of currency types.
• Overall API performance optimizations and minor editor UX improvements

Changes:

• As we introduced the new asset details (see above), the original Icon Detail is now deprecated (marked as obsolete and will be removed in a future version). Please use Sprite Assets Detail instead.

 

With a GameItemDefinition reference, grab a reference to its SpriteAssetsDetailDefinition, and then get the Sprite by key (Prefab version works the same but returns a GameObject).

Example:

Code (CSharp):

1. var spritesDetail = someGameItemDefinition
2.     .GetDetailDefinition<SpriteAssetsDetailDefinition>();
3.  
4. if (spritesDetail != null)
5. {
6.     someImage.sprite = spritesDetail.GetAsset("My Sprite Key");
7.     // or
8.     someImage.sprite = spritesDetail["My Sprite Key"];
9. }
