Here is a Unity project containing a set of samples showing you how to accomplish various things using the combined features of Unity and the ArcGIS Maps SDK for Unity. The main branch is configured to work with our most recent release (1.3.0) if you want to use the sample repo with an older release check out the corresponding tag of the sample repo, git checkout 1.0.0 for the sample repo that worked with our 1.0.0 release.

Features

• Line of sight - See how to check line of sight between two object in Unity.
• Material By Attribute - Apply materials to 3DObject Scene layer based on specific attributes.
• Measure - Click on the map to get real world distances between points.
• Routing - See how to query Esri's routing service to get the shortest path between two points and visualize that route in Unity.
• Stream Layer - See how to use web sockets to connect to an Esri real time service to update game objects locations in real time.
• Third Person Controller - Explore from the perspective of a third person camera following a controllable character.

Instructions

1. Clone this repo.

2. Refer to the ArcGIS Maps SDK for Unity's documentation on getting started on how to download Unity and the ArcGIS Maps SDK for Unity.

3. Open the project in Unity ignoring the errors when prompted to enter Safe Mode.

4. Use the package manager to import the .tarball downloaded in step 2.

   

5. Import the samples. These samples include some components necessary for this repo to function including the ArcGIS Camera Controller component.

   

   NOTE: There is a known issue with ArcGIS Maps SDK for Unity 1.3. In projects that use the new input system, an assembly definition file in the plugin samples needs to be updated.

   1. Select \Assets\Samples\ArcGIS Maps SDK for Unity\1.3.0\Sample Content\ArcGISMapsSDK.Samples.asmdef in the Unity project explorer.

   2. In the inspector tab, add Unity.InputSystem to the references.

      

   3. Scroll to the bottom of the inspector tab and click "Apply".

6. Launch Unity and open the SampleViewer level (it should open by default).

7. In the heirarchy select the SampleSwitcher Game Object and then in the inspector set your API Key. You can learn more about API keys and Accounts in the Mapping APIs and location services guide.

8. (Optional) If you want to be able to open the .cs files in this project and have intellisense recognize variable correctly, in Unity navigate to Edit -> Preferences -> External Tools -> Generate .csproj files for 'local tarball
