Player Character

The Player Character is the main component of Easy Game Pack.
The Player directly controls the in-game menu, the in-game HUD and the inventory UI.
 
The Player can:
 

Placing player into the scene (old method)
 
Starting from 2023.1 version there are different variants of Player and UI prefabs, one for every Game Template.
 
So, if you want to insert player into a newly created scene you have to go to EasyGamePack/Templates project folder:
Then, click on the folder relative to the game template you want to use.
 
Every folder contains 2 prefabs, one for the player and one for the UI.
You have to insert all two of them into the scene.
 
To insert player simply drag and drop player prefab into the scene:
 
To Insert the UI click right mouse button on the UI prefab and choose "Insert Prefab":
This is necessary because the UI prefab contains a huge number of elements so the system takes a lot of time to load all of them and the drag 'n' drop operation, even if possible, could be difficult and frustrating to perform.
 
See Game Templates for more info about how to insert player into a scene.
 

Placing player into the scene using PlayerStart (new method)
 

Handling weapons and items
As said Player character has an inventory that he can manage for storing and using items and weapons.
Either items and weapons can be also equiped by the player.
 
This means that the player can have a number of item and weapon slots on the HUD, these slots can be filled (equiped) with items and weapons stored into the inventory and then, in subsequent moments, they can be selected and used without opening the inventory. We refer to the equiped items and weaopns as, respectively, handItems and handWeapons.

When player pick up a weapon it is automatically put on hand slots, if hand slots are all full the player checks for space inside the inventory (i.e. if there are free weapon slots into the inventory), if he find a slot in the inventory he put the currently selected hand weapon into the inventory and put into the hand slot the new picked weapon.
 
On the contrary,
When player pick up an item it is automatically put into the inventory. Player checks for an empty item slot and, in case inventory is completely full the item is equiped, i.e. it is put on hand slot.
