Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This component handles both crafting menu types – The Blueprint Queue menu and the Blueprint Select Menu. It also keeps all the Blueprints<\/a> available in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is a prefab Crafting_UI located in \/prefabs\/UI.

Setting up without the prefab requires a few more components to be assigned for the Blueprint Menu’s including the menu panels, the Buttons, Blueprint Select Slots<\/a> and Blueprint Queue Slots<\/a>. There are also prefabs for these located in \/prefabs\/UI and then BlueprintSelectMenu and CrafterQueueMenu.

Note – If your game is using the Crafting Queue menu for Crafters<\/a>, both the required menus will be needed. As when clicking in the Crafting Queue Slot, it will then bring up the Blueprint Select menu to choose a Blueprint<\/a> for that Queue slot.

There is null checking throughout, so use what you need for your game.

This component should be placed under a Canvas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
