Sample plugin + project to display mc_rtc robots in Unity

Requirements

Here are the latest tool versions tested to compile the project.

mc_rtc	MSVC	Unity
v2.12.0	2022	2021.3.6f1

Usage

• Build the plugin

# From this repository's folder
cmake -B plugin/build -S plugin -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
cmake --build plugin/build

• Open the Project folder in Unity hub

• If it does not open an McRtcGUI window, find the McRtc menu and click the GUI entry

• Start a local controller (e.g. rosrun mc_rtc_ticker mc_rtc_ticker) and you should robots appear in Unity

Building the plugin in your own project

• Build the plugin and provide your Unity project folder

cmake -B plugin/build -S plugin -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DUNITY_PROJECT_DIR=$HOME/MyProject

Be careful here, if you decide to build the plugin with MSVC make sure that the build type is correctly set to RelWithDebInfo. Otherwise, the plugin may fail to connect with the remotly running controller.

• Copy Project/Assets/McRtc/ folder into your own asset folder

Troubleshooting

In order to test if the plugin, you can :

• Start a local controller (e.g. rosrun mc_rtc_ticker mc_rtc_ticker)
• Run test_plugin from Project/Assets/Plugins. (You may have to edit the ip address to match your)
