How To Use

Main Scripts

When the game starts it will go through all the recipes in the [`Item List`](crafting-system.md#so\_itemlist) and add a button to the crafting book with all the appropriate information using the function `SetInfo`.

Book Settings

Item List

• This is a reference to the Scriptable Object which holds the data for recipes you can craft.

Item Template

• This is a reference to the button which will instantiate when the game starts, so that it displays the correct information.

Book Pages

• This is a reference to the pages, so it knows where to spawn the buttons for crafting different items.

Crafting Table

In `Update` it checks to see if the player is pressing E which is only to test the recipes, this can be switched out in your game to something else depending on how your player interacts with the crafting. This calls the function `Craft` which then crafts the selected item. In the function `Craft` it checks to see if you have selected a recipe if you haven't it will just not do anything. But if you have it will then wait for the time given from the recipe, and after that time, it will then craft the item requested, if you have all the correct items.
