Content providers are used to define the content that’s displayed by HUD elements. Learn more about content providers in this Makinom documentation.

The actual use of content providers depends on the used UI module.

Unity UI #

The Unity UI module uses components to add content providers.

Content components have a Content Provider field available to define which content provider they get their displayed content from.

The following content providers are available (in addition to Makinom’s own content providers).

HUD Combatant Ability #

The HUD Combatant Ability (Content Provider) component uses a defined ability as it’s content.

The ability can be a combatant’s base attack, counter attack, class ability or a defined ability (if available to the combatant).

This content provider requires another content provider with a combatant as it’s user/content.

HUD Combatant Action #

The HUD Combatant Action (Content Provider) component uses the current or casting action of a combatant as it’s content.
