With this plugin you can set up tips and tutorials throughout the map and trigger them one by one as the player goes to tutorial points or you can show tutorials manually without depending it on the player's location.


Tutorial text will get parsed by the plugin and adds the keys retrieved from Enhanced Input or Action/Axis Mapping to the text.

Examples:

  • Enhanced Input System: You use indices inside your tutorial text and then select the Mapping Context and Input Action, then the keys/buttons will retrieved based on the selected platform. "Press {0} to move around." this will be displayed as "Press [W][S][A][D] to move around".
  • Legacy Input System: "Use {MoveForward} {MoveRight} to move around" will convert to "Use [W][S][A][D] to move around" in the game. (MoveRight and MoveForward are of course 2 axis mappings)


What can you use it for

  • Setting up gameplay tutorials
  • Showing gameplay tips to the player
  • Demonstrating gameplay mechanics to the player


There are different type of settings for each tutorial

  • 2 Different Tutorial Types (Message, Modal)
  • 4 Different Trigger Types (In Range, On Crossed, On Previous Tutorial End, Manual)
  • 4 Different End Types (Auto Expire, On Any Key Down, On All Keys Down, Manual)


You can easily switch between different platforms at runtime.
