Location: Prefabs > Character Creator > Layer Selectors > Dropdown Selector
Layer Selector Prefabs
- Layer Dropdown Selector – Basic dropdown selector.
- Layer Dropdown Selector [+Randomize] – Includes a randomize button next to the dropdown.
Pre-Setup Prefabs
Pre-setup prefabs already include a Character Layer Selection Manager.
These will work out of the box without any extra setup required.
- Dropdown Selectors [Auto Create] – Instantiates dropdown selectors at runtime. Uses a Grid Layout Group component to sort them.
- Dropdown Selectors [Initialize Existing] – Uses dropdown selectors already present in the prefab hierarchy.
Customization
- Names – Can use either raw spritesheet names or cleaned up names. Toggleable in the Character Creator Settings for each Character Type.
- Randomization – The “[+Randomize]” prefab adds a randomize option for the current layer.
- Styling The dropdown can be freely modified (Change sprites, fonts, colors, etc)
Limitations
- The Dropdown Layer Selector only shows text. If you need visual previews, consider the
Grid Layer Selector or List Layer Selector.
