Ariadne 3D Dungeon Maker is a powerful asset to create 3D dungeons. In the extension, you can make grid-based map data in MapEditor.
In this page, I introduce the data flow of Ariadne and workflow to generate dungeons.
Data flow
Here is the data flow of Ariadne 3D Dungeon Maker.
DungeonMasterData is data that holds some FloorMapMasterData and ID of start floor in the dungeon. After creating some FloorMapMasterData, you should create DungeonMasterData and set this to GameController.
FloorMapMasterData holds definitions of each map. Dungeon parts are instantiated based on this data.
EventMasterData holds information about events.
Workflow
Create a map data by using MapEditor
First, create map data by using MapEditor. You can open the MapEditor from [Window/MapEditor] in the menu bar.
On the MapEditor, you can set attributes of the map by using draw tools. To add events, select a position using the select tool and press [Open Event Editor] button. On the EventEditor, you can define the contents of events and starting conditions.
Set the map data to Dungeon Data
Second, after saving the map data, create a dungeon data from [Asset/Create/Ariadne/DungeonData] in the menu bar.
The dungeon data is a holder of map data. Set map data that you created to dungeon data.
Ready objects in the scene
Next, set the dungeon data to GameController object in the Scene. The GameController object has a component named DungeonSettings, so set the dungeon data to this component.
Required objects are placed in [Ariadne/Resources/Prefabs/SceneObjects] folder and [Ariadne/Resources/Prefabs/SceneObjects/CanvasParts] folder as prefabs.
When you intend to create a new scene, it is useful to duplicate demo scene and customize it.
Execute the game
Finally, ready to explore your dungeon. Execute the game!
