Introduction

This component is used as an extra for First person or player controlled modes to display an icon when an interactable object is within mining range which is set on the Input Manager.

Setting up

There are two prefabs – InteractionIndicator_PlayerControlled and InteractionIndicator_FirstPerson in /prefabs/UI.

In both instances this component should be added as a child to the TopDownPlayerController or the FirstPersonController.

For the TopDownPlayerController its important to have a UIBillboard component so the Icon in world space is always pointing at the Camera. Continuous should be enabled in the UIBillboardManager.

Settings
