unity-level-design

What problem does it solve?

This Skill bridges the gap between level designers and programmers by providing patterns to translate design intent into functional Unity code, ensuring consistency and reducing manual scripting.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Trigger & Event Architecture: Designers place trigger volumes that fire game events, configured via Scriptable Objects, eliminating bespoke trigger scripts.
• Encounter Design Contracts: Define encounters (enemy waves, puzzles) as data assets (EncounterConfig) managed by a controller prefab, allowing for easy tuning without code changes.
• Checkpoint & Respawn System: Implement persistent game state across deaths by capturing and restoring object states via ICheckpointable and a central CheckpointSystem.
• Cinematic & Scripted Sequences: Author cutscenes and timed events using an ISequenceStep interface and SequencePlayer, enabling designer-driven composition.
• Environmental Storytelling Hooks: Create consistent player interaction UX for notes, logs, and environmental cues using Interactable components and IInteraction interfaces.
• Level Streaming: Manage large worlds by loading/unloading scene chunks additively based on player proximity using StreamingVolume and Addressables.

Quick Start

Use the unity-level-design skill to implement a generic trigger zone that raises a GameEvent SO on activation.
