In the past tutorials, we’ve added a few game parameters in particular for our sound system. The issue is that, for now, those parameters are defined in Scriptable Objects — meaning in project assets that can only be modified by developers and game designers. Once the game has been compiled and shipped to the players, those settings aren’t accessible anymore! Wouldn’t it be sweet if the player could decide whether or not to have the background music? Or control the volume of ambient sounds? Or even toggle off the FOV for a “sandbox” game?
To do that, we’ll create an in-game settings panel that displays some of our parameters. But first, we’ll need to rewrite our GameParameters and GameSoundParameters classes a bit, and to create our own Unity inspector to make it easier to setup our parameters...
