Update the main menu

Goal: add, remove or reorder lessons in an existing main menu, or change its title or player setup.

Update the menu whenever you add a lesson, rename a lesson's scene, or change a lesson's player setup.

Steps​

  1. Open the main menu scene: double-click it in the Project window, for example Assets/ALF-Generated/Scenes/Main Menu.
  2. Open ALF > Main Menu Setup. It shows Active Main Menu detected! and lists the lessons that are already in the menu.
  3. Make your changes:
    • Add a lesson: press Add Scene and drag the scene file into the new row.
    • Remove a lesson: press X on its row.
    • Change the order: use ▲ and ▼.
    • Change the title or player setup: edit Custom Title or Menu Rig Mode.
  4. Press Update Active Main Menu Scene.
  5. Save the scene with Ctrl+S.

Result​

The menu's buttons are rebuilt from the list. New lessons are also added to the app's list of scenes.

Good to know​

  • Open the menu scene first. If a different scene is open, the tool offers to create a new menu instead of updating yours.
  • A lesson's player setup is read when you update. If you changed a lesson from controllers to hands, updating the menu makes its button open the lesson with hands.
