[RELEASED] Scene Connector

Scene Connector
Simple, but versatile Multi-Scene-Management

Store Demo Manual

Scene Connector centers around a simple component that loads, positions and unloads scenes using Unitys Async Methods. Scene Connectors are displayed with Arrow Handles inside SceneView so you can quickly load and unload parts of your world from there. Every new connection between scenes is also added to a separate scene connectors window that can display a graph of your entire world. This graph allows you to easily jump between scenes and connections by simply double clicking them.

In the first update i will probably add 2d examples to the extras project.

Hay. Looking like this asset could be just what I need. Would it work in situation where I have multiple areas not connected to each other? Maybe more than one graph to keep things organized? If not I could maybe work with "overworld" being one scene which would be connected to many others, but the graph could become bit busy.

Also does it handle well situation where distances are long and everything is shifted with floating point of origin when the player moves? From what I've seen it seems it would with dynamic settings, but just wanting to make sure. Meow.

 

Hi!

Not sure what you mean with multiple areas not connected to each other but having multiple graph exported to seperate assets is certainly possible. All the demos are organized in their own seperate graphs for example. Keep in mind that open scenes are automatically added to the graph window so you may add scenes to graphs that you dont want on accident, you can always clean those up before you export the graph though.

Dynamic positioning is made exactly for that case. The world is moved when the player traverses the connector so individual areas would still have to adhere to a size limit unless you add some additional logic that moves it on some trigger area. Having areas that are moved about may present its own challenges(physics, lighting, not sure its been a while) but those are there regardless of scene connector.
