Unity: 1.0 - Setting up your development environment

This article will walk you through the process of setting up your development environment for working with our API.

Installing | Configuration | Testing

Installing the plugin

Open your game project or create a new one.

Drag and drop the PlusMusic Unity Plugin file from your file explorer into the Project > Assets folder.

Make sure all boxes are marked before clicking [Import].
NOTE: If you get a popup for TMP (TextMeshPro), make sure you import that as our UI prefabs use it.

Configuring the Plugin‍

Go to Assets/PlusMusic/Resources and click on PlusMusicSettingSo.
In the Inspector window, enter your PlusMusic Project ID and Authentication Token (see below). If you don't have a PlusMusic account yet, you can leave the fields empty to load the default project and its sample tracks to test the plugin.

The Project ID and Authentication Token can be found on the PlusMusic website in your Project Manager under "Song Info".

Testing the Plugin

Open one of the two supplied sample scenes from Assets/PlusMusic/Scenes/ and play them in the Editor.
You should see some PlusMusic related entries in the console log as the plugin starts and auto loads/plays the first song in your project (or the default project).
After a few seconds of loading time, you should hear the music playing.

NOTE: Your game needs an "Input Manager" installed in order for the UI in our sample scenes to be interactable with the mouse.

Use one of the provided sample scenes to test the plugin.
