- In Unity, click on the Window tab, and then select Package Manager from the dropdown.
- Click the plus sign in the top left of the Package Manager window, and click Add package from git URL.
- Copy and paste the HTTPS link for the repo (https://github.com/Omurex/Unity_GridRoadTool.git), and click "Add".
- Place a terrain in your scene and set its layer to a layer called "Terrain".
- Click on the Tools tab along the top row of the Unity Editor window, and click Road Generation Tool in the dropdown.
- A window will popup. Click on the terrain you placed, and this will spawn a "RoadGrid" object as a child of the terrain.
- The window will change to show multiple configurable settings for the road system. Click on the Initialize Road Grid button.
- A grid will now appear over the terrain. You're now able to select different boxes in that grid and start drawing roads!
Once the grid is set up on the terrain, there are two ways to create roads:
- Click and drag
- Manually change a road point's connected directions
To add a new road, click and drag in a straight horizontal or vertical line across empty boxes, or boxes with roads not travelling the same direction as your drag.
To remove a road, click and drag in a straight horizontal or vertical line across boxes with roads in it going in the same direction as your drag.
When you click on a point in the grid, the editor window will show a changeable flag enum called Road Point Connected Directions. Changing this will either add or remove roads going in the direction changed. For example, if the point has no flags selected (says NONE), selecting North will cause roads to be spawned going north. The roads will spawn until either reaching the end of the grid or hitting a road point with already existing roads.
The models, materials, and textures this project comes with are available for free on the asset store, and were created by MultiFlag Studios.
