📚Creating Tooltip UI

This page shows how to create your visual tooltip prefabs and register them with the system.

Step 1: Create a Tooltip UI Prefab

1. In your Canvas, create a new UI GameObject

2. Create your own layout or drag in one of the (20+) UI prefabs available

3. Add component for displaying tooltip information

   • TextTooltipUI for basic text

   • FlexibleTooltipUI for rich data values (texts, sprites, etc.)

   • Your own custom ATooltipUI subclass. This component is responsible for reading information and delegating it to the UI elements.

4. Style it using standard Unity UI: add background, padding, shadow, etc.

5. Prefab it into your assets folder (optional but recommended).

Step 2: Register Tooltip UIs

1. Select your TooltipManager.

   1. Assign either your prefab or world instances to the tooltip list on manager.

   2. Or register tooltip at runtime

🧪 Notes

• Tooltips will automatically use the matching UI type based on the TooltipInformation they are assigned.

• Want a unique tooltip style per item type? Just subclass ATooltipInformation and create a matching ATooltipUI.
