Official LEGO Microgame by Unity

Can you please fix a link?

Funny I can watch video on the store page, but not on the forum. I am on mobile.

But yeah, seems like nice mini game.

 

Targetting cookies? What else?

Is this an official thread?

 

Nope.
See this thread, to get better idea about the subject and related issues.
Ignore some potential small sparkly flame going there

Has anyone seen what license the LEGO content is distributed under? I haven't been able to find it.

 

Wondering the same thing about licensing, can we use it, for example, in an ad-supported iOS/Android game?

 

Yeah I was thinking some of the assets would be fun to include in really any game as easter eggs.

Opening the project from the Unity Hub shows a non-commercial license.

Spoiler: Statement about licensing from Unity

 

@JamesArndt I think this is very fair move from Unity perspective.
Developers for long time were crying out, that Unity is not making games by them self.
Now we have not only game, which promotes lego, but also is open to us devs., even that is behind a such licence. I think it is really cool movement in right direction. Who don't like Lego?

And then we have another open project from Unity, which invites everyone to participate, in shaping its little adve nature.

 

Not surprising but nice to have this clear, thanks!

 

I took a look at it recently, and it appears to be a fun and well designed tutorial for absolute beginners. It shows you things like changing values in inspector fields, etc, without requiring coding experience. I could see this being used in middle school computer class rooms and similar, but it looks fun for anyone who just downloaded Unity for the first time to get their feet wet.

 

Bad James!

Lego when used as a noun is already plural. (Like deer, police, luggage, etc). Alternately you can use 'Lego bricks" or Lego elements" for plurals.

I played with a for a bit... I wonder how useful it is for beginners? As far as I got with it, other than the play button, and dragging elements to the scene, almost everything else seems very un-Unity like. Like dragging behaviour bricks to the models on the stage to make them function? I mean, it is neat, but it is even different than the visual scripting language that Unity is focusing on now. It is cool to have a recognizable brand to draw in more users.

 

Can you give me a hint on where the brick position behavior is getting controlled inside the editor? Which script is responsible for snapping the bricks together?

 

hi all, for some reason I am stuck at the beginning of the tutorial on this. It's weird and I really don't know what I did wrong.

The tutorial asked me to drag a Platform from the Prefab into the scene and I did just that. However, the Platform that I did drag out is just invisible for some reason? I can see the outline of a platform, but it doesn't show the actual lego platform. And I can't see it either when press Play and test out the game. It's so weird but if I do click on the space, I can select the invisible platform, and move it around, rotate etc, but it just doesn't show in game?

Appreciate any help.

 

I realise I'm not the target beginner market for this project, but I was interested in how it handled performance with the many colliders you'd end up with after combining hundreds or thousands of LEGO bricks each with their own collision. Was it combining them into a convex hull, using an outer box as a base and then raycasting internally, doing nothing?

Unfortunately it all seems to be hidden somehow. You can't see the children of the "LEGO Model Group Asset" GameObjects and their colliders and other content doesn't show up in scene view.

Is there any way to expose those hidden GameObjects ? I assume not as the hiding must be intentional but I just thought I'd check here. It's possible to see that they exist - scripts like BrickColliderCombiner.cs reference them.

 

Does it have doors*, elevators, moving platforms, guns, bullets, bombs and the ability in game to build LEGO structures e.g. bridges/vehicles/ladders/stairs/walls?

What about multiplayer and world generation?

*including locks and keys.

 

It's an American thing.

I know you can add the behavior brick scripts to objects to get the behavior without seeing the actual bricks being displayed. But I'd kind of like to have the best of both worlds where it shows in the editor but is hidden during runtime. I see that there is some mesh combining so I'm wondering if this is easily doable or not? Is it just better to affix the script to the GameObject rather than the behavior brick and just live with it not being as clear in the editor?

 

If anyone is interested, Lego Ideas is running contest with Unity using the microgame. Some decent prizes and a custom minifig for everyone who enters.

Hello,
I was experimenting with importing models from bricklink studio, particularly with minifigures. I was trying to replace the existing character with a new prefab and added all of the same scripts and components of the player prefab. however when I test in game, the camera is picking up the input but the model remains static in place and the player dies. Does the Microgame not support making custom characters?
Any insight would be appreciated

 

I'm trying to get the minigame to detect a score, I'm able to get the UI set up but when I connect the touch trigger to the top of the counter action button it doesn't add 1 point for each crystal I pickup. I've checked and made sure it's set to add one and the sense is added to player but nothing is happening. Some help would be greatly appreicated!

 

Does anyone have any tips on the most efficient/best way to import complex LEGO models into Unity. As an example, (10255 - Assembly Square)
Or maybe there is another way?
Any help would be appreciated.

 

Hi there,

Just looking for some help in the Unity Lego game.

I m trying to animate a minifigure as an enemy - I want the minifigure to simply walk a circuit.

Does anyone know any tutorials that are available or any guidance / advice on this?

Thank you
