Setup Requirements 

Utilize the dynamic spawn commands API for your scene by adding the DynamicSpawnExample script. 

DynamicSpawnExample Script

First, add this script to an object in your scene to enable spawn of agents/squad and subsequent control of units.

Point the Simple Camera parameter to the Main Camera in your scene.

Note, add the “Simple Terrain Camera” script component to your main camera for left-click cursor angle manipulation.

In the Pop Up Button Image parameter, select your Panel child object of Canvas (see below).

SoldierBlue and GOList Prefabs, Plane, EventSystem and Canvas Objects

Next, instance standard Unity objects: 3D Plane, UI EventSystem and Canvas. Currently, you’ll need to create your own context menu with Panel and Button objects to place under Canvas. See the example in-scene.

Ensure the Panel object is chosen in the Pop Up Button Image parameter of the DynamicSpawnExample script object.

Lastly, instance the RIDE GOList prefab and the SoldierBlue scene prefab to load the agent assets at run-time. Change the Size value of Scene Game Objects to 1, and add the SoldierBlue prefab in the field. Rememeer to hide (uncheck) the SoldierBlue instance by default in the scene.
