Ariadne provides 5 types of data to run the dungeon. These data are created with ScriptableObject.
Data Types
Ariadne has the following data types.
- DungeonMasterData
- DungeonPartsMasterData
- FloorMapMasterData
- EventMasterData
- ItemMasterData
DungeonMasterData
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.
How to create
Create DungeonMasterData from [Assets/Create/Ariadne/DungeonData] on the menu bar.
Set FloorMapMasterData
Set FloorMapMasterData to DungeonMasterData via inspector window.
You can specify the “Start Floor Id” by using the selector.
Attention: If there are some FloorMapMasterData which have the same floor ID, the selector shows only one of them.
So you have to specify different IDs for those floors.
DungeonPartsMasterData
DungeonPartsMasterData is a set of dungeon parts prefabs. Scripts that draw dungeons instantiate them at runtime.
How to create
Create DungeonPartsMasterData from [Assets/Create/Ariadne/DungeonPartsData] on the menu bar.
Set dungeon parts prefabs
Default prefabs are placed at [Assets/Ariadne/Resources/Prefabs] folder.
Dungeon drawer scripts calculate the unit size of the dungeon based on the size of wall prefab.
When you change the size of wall prefab, you should check the value of transform of the Player object.

Wall Obj | Set a wall parts prefab. |
Ground Obj | Set a ground parts prefab. |
Ceiling Obj | Set a ceiling parts prefab. |
