Examine System Main Setup

Examine System V1.5 Setup notes - To add:

• Inspect points need "InspectPointMask" and tag of "InspectPoint"

• ExaminePoint needs "ExaminePoint" tag

• "ExamineCamera" needs "ExamineLayer" and "InspectPointMask" TICKED and all others unticked, in the culling mask

• "MainCamera" needs to have "Interact" ticked and "ExamineLayer" and "InspectPointMask" UNTICKED (Leave everything else by default) in the culling mask area.

Make sure to have a "Examine_Canvas" object in your scene which will have all the UI elements. This will be a child of the "AK_CanvasContainer" if you've already imported it from the initial setup

Basic Steps

1. Make sure you have the Examine Canvas added

2. Make sure to create a Layer in the top of the inspector called "Interact" and "ExamineLayer" (if not already)

3. Make sure there is an "ExamineCamera" attached to your main camera (With a Clear Flag: Depth Only & Culling Mask "ExamineLayer")

4. Make sure the Examine Camera has a child of "ExaminePoint" - Which is an empty GameObject in the position you want your objects to move to, when examining.

5. Add your 3D object to your scene, which you would like to examine and follow these steps:

   1. Set the tag to "InteractiveObjects"

   2. Set the layer to "Interact"

   3. Add a "Box Collider"

   4. Add an "AKItemController" script and set the system type to: ""

   5. Add an "ExamineItemController" script and follow the steps shown below.
