Button Camera position

Within the component “StartCameraPosition” you can assign a Camera Pos.

A camera position is created in the following way:

• “Right Click” in your project and select “Create/realvirtual/Add Camera Position”. This creates a scriptable object where you define the position of the camera.
• Assign the created camera position to the “StartCameraPosition” component.

Button Show Group

The ButtonShowGroup component provides a list of groups available to the user in Playmode. Select a group to control its visibility with the button.

To define these groups for Playmode, use the GroupManager in the RealVirtual prefab. Ensure the GroupManager used is also assigned in the ButtonShowGroup component.
