Hierarchy​

The Hierarchy panel consists of two render groups:

  • Tip contains helpful hints to customize the effect
  • 2D Foreground Effects contains the main scene settings:
    • Grid Image is the grid background which provides position reference when playing the game
    • Blue Print [REPLACE] is the image for the complete figure blue print to use as a reference
    • Body Parts [DO NOT DELETE] contain 6 different images for each body part. You can adjust the total number of body parts by deleting or adding scene objects within this section.
    • UI contains the backdrop and tap screen prompt

Understand the Interaction​

The body pieces appear one by one. Each piece performs a looping animation along the X axis, and you can tap on the piece to lock it at the desired X position. Then, the piece moves along the Y axis, and you tap the body piece again to lock it at the desired Y position. You repeat this process until all body pieces are placed on the screen.

Change the Body Piece Order​

The body pieces appear in the order listed in the Hierarchy panel, from top to bottom. For instance, the top scene object under Body Parts[DO NOT DELETE] corresponds to Body Part 1 [REPLACE], representing the left leg, and is shown first. You can rearrange the order of the body parts within this list!

Let's try changing the order of Body Part 1 [REPLACE] to a different order:

  1. Go to the Hierarchy panel
  2. Go to Body Parts [DO NOT DELETE] and click Body Part 1 [REPLACE]
  3. Move Body Part 1 [REPLACE] below Body Part 5 [REPLACE]

You can also change the image of the body piece by clicking the Texture field in the Inspector panel.
