Visual Scripting​

The Visual Scripting panel houses the interactions of the game and exposes a series of properties for you to customize:

visual scripting
  • Game Start Trigger: The trigger setting to start the game
  • Cup Lift Height: Controls the height when cup lifts up and unveils the result
  • Cup Lift Speed: The speed at which the cup lifts. The larger the value, the faster the cup lifts.
  • Cup Shuffle Speed: The speed at which the cups shuffle. The larger the value, the faster the cups shuffle.
  • Cup Movement Range: The movement radius when cups are shuffling
  • Number of Moves: The number of times the cups shuffle
  • Rounds: The number of rounds you need to complete to get the final win
  • Cups Origin Positions: The cups' original positions on the table. If you add more cups, click the Add button [+] to add corresponding positions.
  • Hidden Object Offset: The hidden object's relative position to the cup. Sometimes, the object's default position may not be hidden by the cup. In this case, try to tweak this position to make sure it is hidden.
  • Hidden Object: The object that will be hidden by the cup
