Open the Dungeon scene (Asset/Scenes/), we’ll add random battles with our new combatants and groups. First, we’ll set the battle scene that’ll be loaded.

Create a new empty game object using the scene hierarchy’s context menu: Create Empty

Change the newly created game object’s name to Set Battle Scene.

Adding Random Battles #

Next, we’ll set up the Random Battle Area.

Use the scene hierarchy’s context menu: ORK Framework > Battle > Random Battle Area (3D)

We’ll position it at the center of the dungeon.

That sums up to 100 percent.

Box Collider #

And finally, we’ll adjust the size of the box collider to wrap around the whole scene, basically the same as the camera border.

  • Size
    Set to X=100, Y=20, Y=100.

That’s it for the random battle setup.

Save the changes you’ve made in the scene.

Testing #

Hit play in the Dungeon scene and start a battle.

And it’s working – the enemies are tough for our poor level 1 players, though.

This finishes the battle-related setup of this tutorial series.

 

Next, we’ll start setting up menus.
