Create a compass and objectives with uGUI
​

Keeping players engaged in your game can be a challenging task. For some games, guiding the player towards key objectives is incredibly important and can make or break engagement. A popular approach is to provide a compass that has icons overlay the direction that they should move.

In this tutorial, you will create a general compass that has an overlay of gathering objectives for the player to complete. When the player reaches an objective, a UnityEvent is raised which will equip the new equipment and destroy the ‘dummy’ world objective.

Learning Outcomes​

1. Work with uGUI components, such as canvas, image, and masking.​
2. Rotate a repeating texture based on the user input.​
3. Create a prefab.​
4. Use UnityEvent to call a custom method to handle when an objective is completed.​
