Options Menu

---

Installation

• Complete the steps in Getting Started

Make sure the “Hide Package” button is disabled to see the relevant package folders.

---

Integration

• Right mouse click on any UI canvas gameObject, and Select LionStudios → OptionsMenu → OpenMenuButton. It will create a prefab instance of *OpenMenuButton* under the selected UI canvas gameObject.

  • *OpenMenuButton* is a simple UI button that opens *LionOptionsCanvas*

  
• Position the button appropriately in your UI

• Implement the RestorePurchase callback

  LionOptionsMenu.RestorePurchase += () =>
  {
      //Handle restore purchase here
  };

Optional steps:

• Go to *Gameobject -> LionStudios -> OptionsMenu* and select *LionOptionsCanvas.*

• *LionOptionsCanvas* prefab instance will be created in Hierarchy. It a self-sufficient canvas that contains the usual game options.

• Customize the UI of the button and menu to your needs

LionOptionsCanvas must be left active in the scene to be found. It will automatically be hidden on Start. You can hide it from the Scene view using the visibility toggle.

If the canvas prefab is not imported in the scene, the default prefab will be automatically instantiated at runtime when the OpenMenuButton is clicked.

Settings

• Settings included in LionStudios -> Settings Manager -> Options Menu:

  • Feedback Email:

    • ⚠️ This setting will only be used if Helpshift is not installed Helpshift - Customer Support

    • This email will be used as the receiver address for the “Feedback button”, which opens the user’s email app and allows them to directly provide feedback about the app. It should be set to the developer’s email. If left empty, [e-mail] will be used.

  • Social Buttons:

    • Enable this to display the “Connect with us” section, which provides links to our social networks. This should be disabled for games that are not officially on Lion Studios account yet.

  • Youtube Icon:

    • Enable this to display the Youtube social button. This is disabled by default because Google sometimes rejects games with youtube links if it thinks they are appealing to kids.

  • Audio:

    • Enable this to display the Audio Button in the menu.

    • Audio Option Type

      • Toggle: the audio option will be a On/Off toggle

      • Slider: the audio option will be a slider, allowing volume control

      
  • Haptic:

    • Enable this to display the Haptic Button in the menu.

Advanced Setup

You can also place options menu elements independently, to integrate them inside an already existing UI.

Following are the elements that can be used independently. You can use the prefab as it is, once created, or create a prefab variant out of it.

To create prefab variants, you just need to drag n drop the newly created prefab from Hierarchy to your own path anywhere in Assets folder or subfolder.

All menu elements:

Right click on any gameObject (usually UI object) in Hierarchy. Go to LionStudios → OptionsMenu → .. .Select & click on any one of the below options. A new prefab instance of it will be created under the selected gameObject.
