KINGS - Card Swiping Decision Game Asset

Hi Maulwurfmann,
Is it possible to use variables in the questiontext? Also to make answers with variables/aligned with the questions variable? As easy example: use a random generated number in the questiontext and have answers left that is +1 the random number and right -1 smaller than the random number from the question?
Is this currently supported?

 

Unfortunately, this is currently not supported, but we will look into this.

Currently we are working on a Inventory system, since this has now been requested a few times

 

If you are adding the inventory, why not add a quest system too. Just an idea. Thx

 

I will add this to the list

 

Hi,
I'm totally new to Unity, so apologies for the beginner / stupid quesition.

I'd like to make a version of the Kings game which is exactly the same as the original in terms of dynamics, scoring for each card, balance of cards etc, but with my own text and graphics.
Is there a way to do this?

My main issue is that I can't seem to find the original 'cards' (Grey rectangles with white squares?) within Unity - only the templates (blue boxes) for them.

I've tried using ImEx to edit the text, and I appear to do this successfully within excel, but when I import it without first setting all of my own card styles etc, it just brings in lots of blue boxes - no grey 'cards'.
(There is a suggestion in the instructions that if you import into your 'existing card file' you can just overwrite the text - but my issue is finding a copy of this existing card file for the original game)

I can see how to create everything from scratch (which is wonderful), but not how to do just a simple modification to the existing game.

Is what I'm asking for possible?
To use ImEx to modify the text on the existing cards only?

 

Of course you can do this


Blue Boxes are prefabs, grey boxes are gameobjects. Gameobjects are objects that exist only in the "Hierarchy". You can turn every gameobject into a prefab by dragging it from the Hierarchy to the "Project" folder. All cards are prefabs, since they need to be spawned into the scene/hierarchy.

You can find out more about prefabs here: https://unity.com/prefabs

The cards are located in: Kings/Cards and then separated in each card stack group, e.g. Ads, General, Marriage, War. You will simply have to double click these prefabs to open and edit them.

If you edit the cards with Excel and import it with ImEx you only have to make sure that you select the same import folder (Kings/Cards) this will update only the new text.

Hope this helps! If anything is still unclear, just let me know!

 

Just wanted to say thank you @Maulwurfmann
I haven't really started using the Kings assets yet, but I love the way you connect to your customers.
Keep up the good work

 

Hi Maulwurfmann,
Please can you describe how to change the shader on the cards. I have seen there is a special card for Shadero Asset, but I wanted to test another 2D shader.
Additionally, can I change this only on card level or also for all cards (e.g. with template)?
Would be great, when you shortly explain the relevant steps. Thanks!

 

You should not need to do anything, simply drag the graphic with the special shader onto the card, remove the old graphics and it should be fine. Everything else (camera+ui settings) is already setup in the scene.

See screenshot of below, i just dragged the whole shadero samplecard (TCG_Card) on a kings card.

 

I added a FAQ to our Website.

 

Here is a first look at the new Inventory system which will be included in the next update:

Items are created as scriptable objects:


You can display all items in one list/panel or separate them with categories:


You can have detailed view of the item to show all informations:



Iventory system is fully integrated in Event Script to allow use for Conditions, Results etc.


Hope you like it!

 

How to use IAP and reward video to get inventory items?

 

This will be done with the ChangeValue script, like adding a value or setting it to a specifc number, you will be able to do the same with items.

 

Hi Maulwurfmann,
great thanks! Seams that I had a general (KINGS independent) problem with the UI Shader. With the Shadero Asset everything works fine and also the text is visible on the cards. Also templates with different shaders work fine.
Perfect

 

Hello! Bought this asset a few months ago and it works just great!

Could someone tell me what method should I use to make cards swiping using keyboard buttons?
For example: if A button is pressed the card is acting like it was left swipe.

Thank you!

 

This is currently not supported. If you want to add this for yourself, you would have to modify the "Swipe" script. If you are not able to do this on your own, we could have a look at it, but you would have to be a bit patience, since we are currently working on some other features, we want to finish first.

 

Could you please show me the direction? I will try to modify it by myself.

 

Made it using this simple method:

if (player.GetButtonDown("Card Right"))
{
usualSwipes.swipeRightPreview.Invoke();
usualSwipes.swipeRight.Invoke();
}

But now I have a question. Is there any way to make the card does not hide immediately? For example, if I press a button one time the card will move to the right(for example) and stayed in this position showing the info about this action? And on second press it will hide.

 

We will check this and get back to you soon.

 

I have sent you a pm with the requested script.

This function will also be included in the next update.

 

Wow! Thanks!
It just works perfect

 

I want to preview another feature which we implement in the next updated:

Variables



It will be possible to display actual value numbers in several textfields:
EventScript (Cards), Achievements, Gamelogger and Value Dependent Texts.

It is possible to display the actual value, the value change and the result.

The variables can be formatted and support also items, here are a few examples:

{value=army} -> is replaced by the actual value of army (if defined in value definitions), e.g. 75
{value=army,format=0.0} -> is replace like before but with formatting, e.g. 75.0
{value=army,preview=up} -> is replaced by the preview for army when swiping up
{item=sword} -> is replaced by the number of swords in the inventory

Hope you like it!

 

Hi,
That sounds great and very valuable! Gives a lot of additional possibilities!

Some ideas, would this work with the planned functionality, or are those a further steps:

1.) Will it also be possible to compare results between question text and answers and you get only points for choosing the correct answer (under the assumption that is it a question, where is a right and wrong answer)? E.g. in a math example.

2.) Will it also be possible to include "string" variables in the text? So that you can define certain variables based on previous answers (or values) and use text-variables in question text or answers? (not using the number value, but a text fragment and adapt the question/answer text in certain areas)?

Specially 2.) I find interesting and could help to customize the cards text very specific to an individual game play. But do not take it as very important requirement, more as idea for further possibilities.

Thanks for your excellent work
When do you plan the update for asset store?

 

Thanks!

1) no, you will have to "set" the correct answer yourself
2) we will have a look at it

 

We plan to release it end of Aprill, since we want to add some more features

 

Is there a way to easily switch from standard game view to the mayor game view without having to redo the cards etc... ?

 

Do you mean Landscape and Portrait view? If yes, sure this is possible! Just check the Game_wide demo scene, it uses the same cards as the normal scene (with some exceptions).

Or did you mean something else?

 

Well i was wondering if the mayor setup was done differently from the Game_wide or Game scene.

Especially since i saw that the Game_wide will not be updated and moved to old directory.

Was wondering if Mayor game view was using the same info, card system as the game wide or game does.

 

Sorry for the confusion, i have updated the Game_wide demo in one of the last updates, it will also be further supported in the future, i will edit the old post to prevent further confusion.

The Mayor demo scene uses the same system, just the look of the design is different, and some functions are not used, e.g. countrynamegenerator, but can of course be added if you want to.

If you want to make a widescreen game i would suggest you use the game_wide demo, since this includes all features.

 

Oh allright i thought it was a new system , since it's buttons and not card.
If it's just visual then allright i'm gonna work with the Game_wide again.

Updated only recently to the last versions so i'm a bit lost ^^

Thanks for the answers

 

No problem! If anything is unclear, just let me know.

 

@Maulwurfmann Can you advise on how to remove adverts from the game?
I tried just removing the cards from the cardstack, but an error appears that tells me 'game object' is missing.
When I try to play the game, it gets to a point where I can only swipe in one direction - presumably, when I go in the other direction it is looking for the absent 'advert' card, and because it is not there, it prevents me from picking that option.

The instructions suggest that the script will just skip over if the advert card is not there, but that doesn't seem to be happening.

Thanks in advance

Iona

 

There should not be a error message when you remove the ad cards from the cardstack, except the ad card was currently drawn, simply delete player prefs and there should be no error message.


To disable Ads do the following:

Unity Ads: To disable Unity Ads go to the Services Tab (Ctrl+0) and turn Ads OFF.
Admob Ads: To disable them, open the PLayAdMob script and disable the first line by adding //, see below:


You can also remove the "UnityAds" and "AdmobAds" gameobject in Hierarchy window if you are sure you never want to use ads.

If anything is unclear, just let me know! If you still get an error, please send me a screenshot.

 

@Maulwurfmann Thank you so much for being patient with me.
I am nearly there on completing my game. I just need a little help with the game logger that produces the text at the end, describing the reign of the king. I've manged to edit the value dependent text, but the main Game Logger script itself is locked.
Can you tell me how to temporarily unlock and edit it?

Thank you

 

These gamelogs are added by the cards, for example see "_StartCard".

 

@Maulwurfmann , i'm trying to find where is the Icon animated , because i don't want to have the icon move after i placed it but it still goes down to let some spot for the choice section i guess. Can't find where is the animation defined.

 

The icon is animated together with the card animation, simply open a card prefab, go to "Animation" and remove "Icon" from the animation (card_standard).

 

Allright thanks

 

I want to preview now another feature of the upcoming update:

Dictionary

This features is an alternate to the Value system and allows you to save any kinds of text and will be fully integrated in the Event Script, to support features like "Conditions" and "Variables".

All entries in the Dictionary will be automatically saved and opposite to the "Values" you dont have to create a list/add a object in Hierarchy.

For an example see below screenshot:
With the first card you can choose the name of your son, and in all upcoming cards the chosen name of your son will be displayed with the use of the key {dict=child1}.

Hope you like it!

 

Great feature. As well as inventory! Looking forward for it. When are you planing to release the update?

 

Thanks!
We have planned for end of April, but it could also take a bit longer, depending on how well everything goes, i will update you all as soon as i can give a more precise date.

 

Could you please tell how to translate text for GameLogger(for "GameOver__Log" card"). I am using l2 localization asset and it helps me to localize all cards. But I am stuck on GameOver__Log.

 

The text from the GameLogger can not be automatically added to the I2 terms list, you have to add these entries manually, and then they will also be translated.

 

So I must move text from game object "GameLogger" to the script "ValueDependentGameLogs"?

 

No.
You have to add the text you added as GameLogs as "terms" to I2.

If you go to "Resources" folder you should have a "I2Languages" file, if you click on it will open the "Lanuage Source", in "Terms" you should see many entries (from your card) since you said they are translated. Now you only have to add the entries from the GameLogs manually by clicking on "+". As example see below entry "You became Kings", from the _StartCard.

Hope this helps!

 

Yes, I did it. But how can I connect these terms to ValueDependentGameLogs script? Because these text fields(in GameLogger game object are still in english even when I change language for the whole game).
https://prnt.sc/n9mr5n

 

Exactly the same, e.g. add "You were loved by the People." as a term to I2.

 

Hmm...
Sorry, but I can't understand how can I connect term with text field in game object.
I did this:
http://prntscr.com/n9n4zr

I easily translated the title of the card by adding I2 localize script file to card prefab(TitleText2 child) but I can't undertand to what prefab(or game object) should I add l2 localize script file?

 

You don't have to add anything to the textbox. The GameLogger will automatically display the translated text if the terms are added to the I2 Language source. Just make sure you have copied the exact text, e.g. "You were loved by the People."

The same goes for the cards, there is absolutely NO need to add something on the card and you really should not do this, the EventScript will display the translated text automatically.

Also see here for instructions how to setup I2 correctly: KINGS - Card Swiping Decision Game Asset

Hope this helps!

 

Thank you, now it works!

Could you please tell where can I find these texts: "You became King." and "Everyone was excited to see how you will rule the kingdom.". They are not on GameLogger gameobject.
