Items

To create a new item, in the Project inspector, navigate to the folder where you want to save the asset. Then access the menu Assets > Create > Really Simple Tutorials > Tutorial Item.

You can also do the same by right clicking on the folder where you want to create the asset.

Menu to create a new item

A new Tutorial Item asset will be created. Let's understand its properties and how to configure them:

A Tutorial Item asset in the inspector
  • Description: an explanation of the tutorial item, for example: "In the Deathmatch game mode, players compete against each other in an arena with up to 16 players"

  • Type: as a complement to the description, in Really Simple Tutorials the tutorial items can be displayed in image or video. You will determine the type in this property

  • Video Reference: if you have set the type property to "Video", add a reference to the MP4 file in this field

  • Image Reference: if you have set the type property to "Image", add a reference to the sprite file in this field

Which video resolution is the best?

The component was designed to work by default with videos in 16:9 aspect ratio, that is, a video in Full HD resolution is the most recommended. About the amount of frames per second is up to you to decide. 60 FPS delivers a better and smoother result, at the cost of a larger build size. Do some tests to find the best cost/benefit recipe for your game.

About tutorial with images...

It is not enough just to add images to your project, it is necessary that all images be imported as a Sprite for them to work properly.

Don't forget to change the Texture Type option to Sprite (2D and UI)
