Code base

In-Game Notification’s code base is centered around the NotificationsManager, which provides method to Add and Remove notification. The class exposes the following settings, that controls the way notifications are displayed:

• Corner: This property controls the corner of the screen where notifications will be displayed
• maxVisibleNotificationsCount and queueNotifications: These properties control how many notifications to show at any given time, and whether to queue any additional notifications
• defaultNotificationPrefab: This will be the default template for notifications, in case no other template was provided when the notification was added. Either notificationPrefabSize or defaultNotificationPrefab must be provided.
• notificationPrefabSize: This is the expected size of notifications. Either notificationPrefabSize or defaultNotificationPrefab must be provided.
• awakeEffect, dismissTrigger, dismissEffect: These properties control the behavior of a notification as it’s being displayed, what triggers its dismissal, and how it disappears.

NotificationRenderer is the base script responsible for displaying notifications. In addition, there are multiple scripts that affect the notifications’ behavior:

• Awake effects control the way the notification will behave upon appearance (e.g., fade in, slide in)
  NOTE: Awake Effects are added to the notification object itself.
• Dismiss triggers control the dismissal of the notification (e.g., after a certain timeout, when a button is clicked)
  NOTE: Dismiss triggers are added to the notification container object (the parent of the notification object).
• Dismiss effects control the way the notification will behave upon dismissal (e.g., fade out, slide out)
  NOTE: Dismiss Effects are added to the notification object itself.

Using In-Game Notifications

Passing more information in a notification

A notification consists of a “title”, a “description”, and any number of additional properties. Developers can easily pass more information as part of the notification, which can be later handled by the renderer:

Notification notification = new Notification()
{
    title = "Sample" + count++,
    description = "Sample description",
    properties = new Dictionary<string, object>
    {
        { "icon", notificationsIcon },
        { "backgroundColor", Color.green },
    }
};

Creating a custom template

In order display a custom template, first create a new Renderer, which inherits from the NotificationRenderer script:

public class MyNotificationRenderer : NotificationRenderer

Override the SetNotification method, to assign details provided from the Notification to the Renderer:

public override void SetNotification(NotificationsManager notificationsManager, Notification notification)
{
    this.notificationsManager = notificationsManager;

    title.text = notification.title;
    description.text = notification.description;
    icon.sprite = (Sprite)notification.properties["icon"];
    background.color = (Color)notification.properties["backgroundColor"];
}

Next, create a new GameObject, and assign it the above Renderer. Your object should now be saved as
