Record and play character movements (saved in MySQL) †
In this scene, you can record and play back the movement of characters and some objects to MySQL.
MySQL environment construction †
If you are using MySQL, you need to go through a few steps first.
First, build MySQL Server. The details are omitted, but the outline is as follows.
- Install MySQL Server. The version has been confirmed in [8.0.15].
You can download MySQL related information from [[here] https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/]]. (Archived Versions here)
It is also convenient to install MySQL Workbench.
- Create a Schema (database) named "sigverse".
- Create a MySQL user with update privileges for "sigverse".
- Create a table called “playbacker_motion_data” under “sigverse”.
The table creation script is as follows.
CREATE TABLE `playbacker_motion_data` (
`recording_id` int (11) NOT NULL,
`elapsed_time` int (11) NOT NULL,
`data_type` int (11) NOT NULL,
`motion_data` text NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`elapsed_time`,` data_type`, `recording_id`)
) ENGINE = InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET = utf8;
Also, set MySQL to use SIGVerse setting screen.
- Click [SIGVerse]-[SIGVerse Settings] in the Unity editor to open the SIGVerse settings screen.
- Check [Use MySQL] in [Define symbols Settings].
Since an error occurs in the Console tab of the Unity editor, add the library to the Unity editor.
- Access Download Site of Connector / NET. (Archived Versions)
- Select [8.0.15] for [Product Version], [.NET & Mono] for [Operating System], and click [Download].
- Drag and drop MySql.Data.dll and Google.Protobuf.dll in the "v4.5.2" folder after unzipping the zip file under [Assets/Plugins] on the [Project] tab of the Unity editor.
- Check that the Unity Editor error is gone.
