Getting Started (Legacy V2)

We suggest that you start by reviewing the sample scenes provided in our Unity Integration package before incorporating your own scene. This will help ensure a smooth integration process.

1. Importing the Package​

There are three ways you can import the Inworld AI Unity SDK unitypackage into your scene:

  1. Open Unity and go to Assets > Import Package > Custom Package. Next, select the unitypackage that you downloaded.
  2. Drag the unitypackage that you downloaded into Unity's Project panel.
  3. If you only have one instance of Unity running, then double-click the downloaded unitypackage.

When the Import Unity Package box appears, click the Import button:

Import

⚠️ Note: We recommend you delete the Inworld.AI folder from your Asset folder if you have used an older version of the Inworld AI Unity SDK before importing the new package as it may not be compatible.

2. Opening the Basic Sample Scene​

In the Project Panel, click Assets > Inworld.AI > Scenes > SampleBasic to open the basic sample scene.

⚠️ Note: The Inworld AI Unity SDK requires "Text Mesh Pro", which is included with Unity but not imported by default. If you are opening the Inworld Studio Panel for the first time, please click Import in the dialog for "Text Mesh Pro" if it appears.

3. Talking to the Character​

After pressing the Play button, you will see a monitor displaying the connection status to the Inworld Server. There is a character named "Celeste" in the room. Once the server is connected, she will wave at you if you move closer to her. You can then talk to her. You can use the W A S D buttons on your keyboard to move forward, back, left, and right. You can also speak to her directly using your microphone.

⚠️ Note: If you change your audio input during runtime, the new voice will not be recognized until you restart the app. Restarting the app will cause the change to take effect.

4. Typing to the Character​

Press the ~ button to open or close the text input panel during runtime. While the text input panel is open, you can type sentences to the character.
