🎮 Make Your Game More Interactive with Custom Interactions in Unity

Static environments are a thing of the past. In modern games, players expect to interact with doors, switches, elevators, and countless other elements—turning the game world into a living, dynamic space. True Tactical Studio’s Modular Third-Person Framework provides a powerful, flexible Interaction System to let you build exactly that—no complicated coding required. 

Why Flexible Interactions Matter Interactivity isn’t just a feature—it’s what brings your game world to life.

A great interaction system lets designers and developers add new gameplay opportunities quickly, keeps code modular, and delivers more rewarding player experiences. 

How the Interaction System Works1. Flexible Interaction Components 

• Any object in your scene can become interactive by attaching a simple interaction script.
• Designers can set up doors, switches, levers, consoles, and more—no hardcoded logic required.
• Interactions can be one-time, repeatable, or conditional.

 2. Custom Triggers & Conditions 

• Define when and how an interaction is available (e.g., player proximity, item possession, puzzle state, etc.).
• Trigger different responses based on player actions or game events.
• Use scriptable objects to store and tweak conditions or responses without changing code.

 3. Modify Animations & UI Feedback Easily 

• Integrate custom animations for doors opening, switches flipping, or panels lighting up.
• Trigger UI prompts (“Press E to interact”), sound effects, or on-screen feedback with each interaction.
• The system supports animation events and UnityEvents, so every interaction can be tailored for your gameplay.

What Makes This Interaction System Stand Out? 

• Modularity: Add or remove interactions without rewriting core code.
• Designer-Friendly: Non-programmers can set up or modify interactions directly in the editor.
• Scalable: Supports everything from simple doors to complex, multi-step puzzles or narrative events.

Tips for Unity Developers 

• Use scriptable objects to centralize interaction conditions and responses—this keeps your project maintainable.
• Always provide player feedback (UI, sound, or animation) for every interaction.
• Test for edge cases: what happens if the player interacts too fast, or while performing another action?
