1. Overview:

Union is a sample multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game for mobile devices, designed to show off Photon and PlayFab integration with a Unity game. It is fast-paced, intense and combat focused, with two teams of players teaming up for a common objective: destroy the enemy’s tower and all enemy players. All the assets, prefabs, models, sounds and code are open source and can be used in your own game.

• How to use PlayFab and Facebook for:
  • Getting and sending authentication tokens
  • Populate PlayFab account details with Facebook data (profile picture, account name)
• Use PlayFab TitleData as a string table for 'hot-loading' your game's text content
• Making Google Play IAP requests and validating the receipt with PlayFab
• Example of how to create real-time multiplayer MOBA with Photon Turnbased SDK
  • Simple game system examples (movement, combat, defense towers, UI, AI)
  • Dual touchscreen input for mobile platforms
  • Photon networking implementation using thier Turnbased SDK, with extensive examples of Views, Syncs and RPCs
  • In-game store for character upgrades
  • Kills and win/loss ratios are tracked via PlayFab PlayerStatistics
  • Compare your stats to others via PlayFab Leaderboards

2. Prerequisites:

To get the most from these samples you should:

• Be familiar with the basics of PlayFab
• Be familiar with the basics of Photon (Turnbased)
• Play:
  • For best results:
    • Have the ability to build and deploy to an android device (.apk provided as an alternative)
    • Have a Facebook account for authentication purposes
  • Alternatively:
    • Run in the UnityEditor with mouse support
    • Requires a Facebook Developer Account to generate an authorization token

To connect to the PlayFab service, your machine must be running TLS v1.1 or better.

• For Windows, this means Windows 7 and above
  • Official Microsoft Documentation
  • Support for SSL/TLS protocols on Windows

3. Source Code & Key Repository Components:

This repository contains the entire Unity3d project.

• AccountManager
  • Persistent to control all account properties getters and setters. Communicates with Facebook and PlayFab, and holds every property any of these communications may return. Called anywhere in the game, because account’s properties can be changed on gameplay, on store, and will be shown in profile screen.
• PhotonManager
  • Persistent to control connection. Connects to Photon and finds a room on ModeSelect, handles all gameplay syncs and events on MatchRoom, and gets destroyed on EndGame. This maintains connection between scenes.
• AudioManager
  • Persistent to handle properties and play music. Has an AudioSource, that keeps playing menu (or gameplay) music in loop, and holds booleans for music enabled, and SFX enabled. Because there is SFX and music in every scene, the manager is persistent.

• AccountManager
• PlayFabManager
• AudioManager
• GameController
• GameplayUI
• PlayFabPlayerStats
• PlayFabItemsController
• GunDropsManager
• GameController
• GameplaySFXManager
• InputManager
• PushNotificationsManager
• MultiplayerRoomsManager
• ChatManager
• InGameStoreAndCurrencyManager
• InAppPurchaseManager

4. Installation & Configuration Instructions:

After downloading, the Unity project will be under the Unity 5.1 Source Project > Project > folder. Some errors and warnings will appear, but none should be project breaking. Let us know if you experience build-breaking errors when importing the project.

• This requires you to have access to a Facebook developer account

1. Find a Facebook App ID to use
2. Enter the App ID in the Unity Facebook SDK editor menu (Facebook > Edit Settings > [App ID located in the inspector panel, paste in your App ID])
3. Open the Landing.unity scene, Play in editor
4. While logged in as a Facebook developer, navigate to the Facebook Access Token Tool

• https://developers.facebook.com/tools/accesstoken/

5. Enter the provided UserToken as your credential
6. To enable mouse support:

• Find the GameControls GameObject in the scene
• Check the UseWithMouse property on the InputManager
• [note:] the mouse is acts as a single touch input. Although it may be a bit awkward in the editor, click->dragging on the left-half of the screen will move the character directionally, while click->dragging on the right-half of the screen will shoot directionally. For best results play on a multi-touch Android device.

• InAppPurchasing will require you to have your own GooglePlay Account information
• Obtain your own Photon Application ID via the Game Manager > Servers > Photon

1. Upload the game logic (/Documentation/CloudScript.js) via the Game Manager > Servers > CloudScripts > Create New Revision
2. Upload the game item catalog (/Documentation/InGameStore.json) via the Game Manager > Economy > Catalogs > Upload JSON
3. Upload the TitleData via the Admin API

• Run the following command for each title data element in /Documentation/TitleData.json: curl -XPOST https://2ABE.playfabapi.com/admin/SetTitleData \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "X-SecretKey: 000-ENTER-YOUR-KEY-HERE-000" \ -d "COPY AND PASTE EACH ELEMENT FROM /Documentation/TitleData.json"

4. Ensure your title's virtual currencies match those listed in /Documentation/VirtualCurrencies.json: --EITHER--

5. Manually adding them via the Game Manager > Economy > Currencies --OR--

6. Run the following Admin command with the data in /Documentation/VirtualCurrencies.json: curl -XPOST https://2ABE.playfabapi.com/admin/AddVirtualCurrencyTypes \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "X-SecretKey: 000-ENTER-YOUR-KEY-HERE-000" \ -d "COPY AND PASTE THE CONTENTS FROM /Documentation/VirtualCurrencies.json"

7. Usage Instructions:

The game must​ be played (started) from the Landing scene. It will initialize all the needed references (Facebook, PlayFab, audio manager, etc), and start the login process, to be able to access all features, and properly connect to Photon and join a room.
