⭐Curtain for Unity⭐

Overview

The Curtain system in Unity is a robust and versatile tool designed to manage transitions and loading screens across your games or applications. It serves as a 'curtain', hiding the scene changes or loading processes that happen in the background, providing a seamless experience for the player.

Why Use Curtain?

Using Curtain in your Unity projects can greatly simplify the management of scene transitions and loading sequences. It handles the display of a full-screen overlay, which can be customized and animated, to mask the loading operations that may distract the user or disrupt the gameplay experience.

Features

• Animated Transitions: Curtain can smoothly transition in and out with customizable animations.
• Callback Support: Execute any post-animation logic using callbacks, perfect for loading scenes or resources in the background.
• Customizable Appearance: Easily modify the look and feel of your curtain through Unity's ScriptableObject to match your game's aesthetic.
• Delay Control: Specify delays for hiding the curtain, allowing for flexible timing with your game's loading processes.

Installation << (Obsolete!)

1. Clone the repository or download the latest release.
2. Import the Curtain package into your Unity project.
3. Drag and drop the CurtainView prefab onto your canvas in the desired scene.

Usage

First, ensure that your scene contains an instance of CurtainView, and that the CurtainService is properly initialized and injected where you need to control the curtain.

Showing the Curtain

Invoke curtainService.ShowCurtain() to cover the screen. This is typically done just before you start a loading operation.

curtainService.ShowCurtain(isAnimated: true, callback: () =>
{
    // This block of code will execute after the curtain has fully appeared.
    // You can start loading your scene or resources here.
});

Hiding the Curtain

Once your loading operation is complete, call curtainService.HideCurtain() to remove the curtain and reveal the updated content.

curtainService.HideCurtain(isAnimated: true, callback: () =>
{
    // This code will execute after the curtain has fully disappeared.
    // This is the perfect place to transition to a new scene or perform other post-loading operations.
});

Delayed Hiding

If you need to keep the curtain displayed for a set amount of time (for example, to show a loading animation or a branding screen), you can use the delayed hide function.

// Assuming you have a curtainConfig object with a HideDelay property
curtainService.HideCurtain(curtainConfig.HideDelay, () =>
{
    // Code to execute after the delay and the curtain has been hidden.
});
