Using the Mail system
There are two options for the mail system:
- The player presses a key binding to open the mail UI. To use this method set the Toggle Button on the Mailbox UI component on your UI Game Object.
- The player clicks on an Object in the world that has the Mailbox component on it and it brings up the
mail UI.
How the Player uses the Mail System
When the player has brought up the mailbox UI they will be given a list of the mail they have received (if any) and there will be a button to write a new piece of mail.
Writing a new mail involves entering the name of the character the mail is to be sent to, giving the mail a subject and writing a message. Items can be attached at the bottom along with entering a currency amount.
