Sorry for the delay. I ended up working some more on my UI system to make it into an actual workable package.
Respawning works great now, what Im working on now is putting together a customization screen for when players enter the game. They will be able to select their ship, and any weapons/equipment they want to use.
From the UI builder devlog:
I'm adding DataSource scriptable objects to make it easier to get game data into the user interface.
The way it works is you create a source for say an XML file. You fill in the details and can then use the populateDropdown script to make a dropdown with all the values from whatever field you select - for example, all the ship names in a ships.xml file.
I also added display code so the dropdown, when selected, will display a summary of the selected object. This can be configured in the datasource object.
Its still a wip.
