Toggling between skyboxes/lighting with a button
So I'm working in Unity to create interactive versions of architectural models (like, you can walk around a model of a building and interact with it to preview how it'll look when its built), and I want to create a key so I can toggle whether you're seeing the building at night or during the day. I don't even know where to begin.
I've imported a set of skyboxes, do I create a script for this to attach to the camera? do I put it in with my player controller? do I make it a game object? If someone could even point me in a direction to work, I would really appreciate it. I'm new to coding and to Unity, but it seems like this should be something I can do. I'm using C#.
You can try adding a script like this to any GameObject. It is just an easy example.
This script changes the skybox when you press the keyboard keys 1, 2, 3 and 4. In the editor you have to define Skybox 1, 2, 3 and 4 materials.
using UnityEngine;
public class ChangeSkybox : MonoBehaviour
{
public Material m_Skybox1;
public Material m_Skybox2;
public Material m_Skybox3;
public Material m_Skybox4;
void Update()
{
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Alpha1))
RenderSettings.skybox = m_Skybox1;
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Alpha2))
RenderSettings.skybox = m_Skybox2;
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Alpha3))
RenderSettings.skybox = m_Skybox3;
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Alpha4))
RenderSettings.skybox = m_Skybox4;
}
}
