Bevy_adventure
A framework for building 3d adventure games in Bevy.
Features
Interactive
trait is the backbone of the framework, allowing you to create powerful, dynamic objects in your world that can be interacted with and can affect other objects or global state.AdventureScene
trait exposes aPlugin
-like interface for managingGLTF
scenes and assigning components to entities (based onbevy_scene_hook
)WorldState
resource, a stringly-typed storage for tracking progressionInventory
resource allows you to track held items and create recipes for combining them- Automatic camera animation and state management, Component-based interface
- Support for multiple scenes (built on top of
States
) - Support for triggering animations and audio clips
Examples
There is an elaborate example available at examples/main.rs
.
Three scenes are included, with multiple objects that can be interacted with or picked up.
Notes
Save States
bevy_adventure
intentionally omits implementing save state functionality, as different games will have different requirements.
If you want to implement this, here is what you need to keep track of:
CurrentSpot
resource, which determines your current camera spot in the scene. When saving, save the name of theCameraSpot
from this resource. When loading, create a newNextSpot
instance from the loaded name, and insert it withCommands
.State<S>
resource, which determines what scene is currently loadedInventory
resource, which tracks what items the player is holdingWorldState
resource, the global game state storage
You will also have to enable the serde
feature to allow serialization and deserialization of these resources.
Using WorldState
When you are building interactives, you have the ability to store information in the component itself or the WorldState
.
The component should only hold temporary state information - like which drawer is open on a dresser or if an entity has been spawned.
If you want to store any other kind of information, it should be done in the WorldState
resource. This is so other interactives in your scene can access this state (for example, you'd flip a switch and the lights would go out) and so you are storing state information in a single place.
Creating scenes
When implementing the Scene trait, the scene
method should return a path to a file that can be loaded with the AssetServer
to create a Bevy Scene.
In practice this is a GLTF scene file, but any other format can be used as long as it creates a Bevy Scene when loaded.
When imported with bevy_adventure, Cameras are automatically converted to CameraSpots, and PointLights are configured to cast shadows.
The Scene trait's spawn
method is called for every Entity in the scene - you can use this to assign components and initialize behavior for objects in your scene.
The best way to do this is to match entity Names (from their names in the Scene), see the examples for an idea of how you should do this.
The only real requirement for your scene is that you create a special Camera with the name Camera_Main
.
This is where your Camera will be positioned upon entering the Scene.
The app will panic if a scene is loaded without the Main Camera.
If you have issues matching objects by name, you might be matching the parent instead of the actual object you want to match. Adding a print statement inside of your Scene's spawn method might help you figure out if the object is actually being found.
Note that when you are loading Scenes into Bevy, the 'Transform Scale' of each object is also loaded in. This could cause colliders to be the wrong size - you should 'apply Scale' before exporting.
Object origin is also used loaded in - this could cause misaligned colliders if your object's origin doesn't match the center of your object.
Blender is a good choice to create GLTF scenes, but you must make sure you configure the export settings correctly:
