About

A collection of Unity packages demonstrating game mechanics and use cases for Unity Visual Scripting (previously known as Bolt), which is now native to the editor as of Unity 2021.1.

All samples can be found in this repo's Releases section and are intended for the built-in version of Visual Scripting available in Unity versions 2021.1 and above. Similar projects compatible with the Asset Store version of Visual Scripting (for Unity versions 2018.1 - 2020.3) can be found over on Unity-Bolt-Samples.


Setup

The easiest way to get started:

  1. Download one of the Unity Visual Scripting Samples from the Releases section.

  2. Use the Unity Hub to open a new Unity 2021.1 (currently in Beta) project and make sure to follow any unique setup requirements listed for your selected sample.

  3. In the Unity menu bar, navigate to Assets > Import Package > Custom Package & select the package you downloaded earlier to import it into your project. After this, you're all set!
