Runtime Dungeons

Applies to Dungeon Architect · Unity

Setup Runtime Build Script

Dungeon Architect can build dungeons at runtime, so you can have a new dungeon everytime you play

You do this by calling the Build() function on the Dungeon component

Create a new C# script anywhere in the project window

Open the script for editing

using DungeonArchitect;
using UnityEngine;

public class MyDungeonBuilder : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Dungeon dungeon;

    void Start()
    {
        if (dungeon != null)
        {
            dungeon.Build();
        }
    }
}

Here, we’ve provided a public attribute named dungeon of type Dungeon. You’ll need to import the DungeonArchitect namespace using DungeonArchitect;

Create a new GameObject and rename it to something appropriate

Reset the transform

Add our script to this game object

Notice the Dungeon parameter is exposed. This is because we made a public attributed named dungeon in our code

public Dungeon dungeon;

Assign your dungeon reference here.

When you hit play, this dungeon will be built (since we call dungeon.Build() in the Start method)

Randomize Dungeon

You might want to have a different dungeon everytime you play

You do this by setting the seed parameter in the dungeon configuration before calling Build()

dungeon.Config.Seed = (uint)(Random.value * int.MaxValue);

using DungeonArchitect;
using UnityEngine;

public class MyDungeonBuilder : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Dungeon dungeon;

    void Start()
    {
        if (dungeon != null)
        {
            dungeon.Config.Seed = (uint)(Random.value * int.MaxValue);
            dungeon.Build();
        }
    }
}
