A game options menu template / creator (ui + logic).

With this asset you have only one API to interact with (or one ScriptableObject if you pref a code-free workflow). It does not matter which render pipeline you use. The tool makes sure everything is hooked up the right way so you can have your settings applied effortlessly.

✅ Unity 6 (and 2023, 2022, 2021)

✔️ URP, HDRP and Built-in supported

No extra purchases needed. It's an all-in-one asset.

✔️ Lots of predefined settings (excerpt list below)

Battle tested implementations.

✔️ Input-Binding (OLD and NEW Input System)

Save and edit your key bindings. Supports the OLD and the NEW input system.

✔️ Mouse, Keyboard, Controller, Gamepad, Touch

No matter what you players use. We've got you covered.

✔️ No coding skills required

Scriptable Object based workflow. Use the Generic Connector to hook up to any property, field or method.

✔️ Prefab based UI (easy to tweak)

In fact you are getting a whole modular UI library.

You don't like it? Well, okay, no problem. It's built to be ripped out if need be.

✔️ PC and CONSOLE style prefabs

Easy to swap. Just right-click and choose another prefab. No need to configure it again, the tool takes care of it all.

✔️ Localization built-in

Predefined translations which are easy to extend with assets like I2 Localization, ..

✔️ PlayerPrefs, JSON, ...

Saves the user settings in PlayerPrefs or as JSON.

Code hooks enable you to integrate it into other save systems like Easy Save, ..

✔️ Visual Scripting

Requires manual setup, see manual. Takes about 30 seconds.

Also has (rudimentary) PlayMaker support, see manual.

✔️ Scripting API

For the coders among you.

✔️ UI Toolkit

Supported in Unity 2021.2 and up.

✔️ Auto Save

Disabled by default, check the toggle on the provider to enable.

✔️ Event Components

React to setting changes in your scene without a single line of code.

✔️ Full Source Code included

✔️ Supports Unity 2020*, 2021, 2022, 2023, Unity 6, ...

In version 1.40 and up Unity 2020 (and 2021.1) version is not longer updated with new features but there is a legacy version that still works. If you can please upgrade to 2021.2+.

⚠️ Settings like "Gamma", "Ambient Occlusion" or "Motion Blur" are post processing effects. If you use the Built-in renderer you will have to install the PostProcessing Stack (V2) from the package manager (it's a free package from Unity). Don't use Built-In PostPro on mobile. It's very hit and miss. Use the URP renderer instead. It comes with its own PostProcessing stack and that one works on mobile too.

⚠️ Controller support for the OLD input system is based on the standard xbox controller layout. I encourage you to use the NEW InputSystem which has a much better controller abstraction included. If you are fixed to the old system then I'd recommend using InControl.

⚠️ Visual Scripting (formerly BOLT) requires a one-time manual setup. It takes about a minute. Please follow the instructions in the manual.

⚠️ UIToolkit support (starting with in Unity 2021.2) is rudimentary (all the logic works but there aren't many UI components, yet). I am also waiting for Unity to finish some stuff (runtime binding). More details are in the manual.

I publish this asset with full source code because as a developer I know how annoying it is to not have source code access. If you like it then please remind others to purchase the plugin. Don't just copy and paste it everywhere.

Thank you ❤️

⚙ List of Settings

There is an extensive list of predefined custom settings. You can also invent your own or simply hook up a primitive type with any method in your game. All of them support HDRP, URP and Built-in renderers.

Basic Types: Bool, Int, Float, String - Generic settings to easily create custom settings.

Colors - Save and load any color value.

ColorOptions - Let the user pick from a list of colors.

Options - If you want the player to choose only from a limited set. You give it a list of names (A, B, C) and it tells you with an index (0,1,2) which option the player selected.

Key Combination - Used for key-bindings for example. Supports old and new key codes and key combinations (one or two keys).

Input Binding - InputBinding UI. The look and interaction is identical to the KeyCombination UI. The difference is that it performs an interactive rebind using the new InputSystem. However to do this it requires a bit of setup. Please read the „Input Binding“ section in the manual before using this.

Ambient Light - Controls the ambient light intensity.

Ambient Occlusion (SSAO) - On/Off for Screen Space Ambient Occlusion. Please check the manual, there are some caveats with this one.

Anti Aliasing - Selectable options are based on your renderer settings.

Audio Mixer - For sounds controlled by AudioMixers.

Audio Paused - On/Off for Audio: Pauses the Audio Listener (useful for global audio on/off).

Audio Volume - Controls the Audio Listener volume (useful for global audio volume).

Audio Source Volume - Controls the volume of one or more specific AudioSource Components.

Bloom - On/Off for the bloom post processing effect.

Render Distance - Camera Clipping / Render Distance / Draw Distance

Motion Blur - On/Off for the motion blur post processing effect. Notice: URP does not have a per-object motion blur. More on that in the manual.

Monitor - Allows you to switch the display monitor. ⚠️ NOTICE: This requires Unity 2021.2 or higher since that's when Unity added the monitor switching API.

MSAA - In addition to the other aliasing methods.

Quality - Changes the global quality setting. Options are taken from the graphics quality settings automatically.

Refresh Rate - Options for monitor refresh rates. Options are taken from the refresh rates supported by the monitor.

Resolution - Options for the game resolution. Options are taken from the resolutions supported by the monitor.

Render Scale - URP only. Allows you to set the render scale on the current render asset.

Shadow - On/Off for shadows (and contact shadows if you use HDRP).

Shadow Resolution - Options for max shadow map resolutions. The options are based on the graphics quality settings.

Textfield - Let the player enter a name or something else.

Vignette - On/Off for the vignette post processing effect.
