The project goal is to create a corridor base map generator. It will be capable of creating a complex procedural map with still the possibility to edit manually. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea came from playing Warframe and creating a 2D platformer map generator. I tried to figure out a way to generate a full procedural map out of rooms and hallway in 3D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Warframe you can see links between the different rooms\/sections

I started by listing the different room format I wanted. In my project, I set up Rooms and Hallways. The rooms can have multiple doors, but most only have one, they should be larger than hallways. The hallways are strait, corner, T shape, cross shape, long, short or curved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process I planed is creating the rooms, hallways, then start coding the link system and spawn system, and adding the randomness with it. Then improve on it, by adding the custom inspector, making it easier to spawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each Room and Hallways are made of squared tiles, this way it is possible to make them modular and maybe procedural too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With those tiles, I started creating those rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The doors are spawned at the link place. For now, they are only 2 squares long but there will be multiple sizes in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I composed my project of 3 main scripts, one for the main Room System that serves as a database; one for the rooms, including hallways; and one for the links between rooms.
The Room script has the necessary variables and has multiple functions.  Those functions listed are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
