Interaction Workflow Approach an available cable plug. Pick up the plug using the configured interaction input. Carry the plug while the attached cable follows behind. Move close to a compatible socket endpoint. Insert the plug into the socket. Disconnect and move the plug again when needed. Snap distance, compatible endpoint masks, interaction range, and connection behavior can be configured through the Inspector.

〰️ Physical Cable Simulation Cables are represented using multiple points between their endpoints, allowing them to form visible sagging curves instead of appearing as rigid straight lines.

Adjustable Cable Settings Cable point count Sag factor Solver iteration count Collision radius Collision LayerMask Endpoint positions Cable visual width Connection refresh behavior The collision-aware simulation can help cables react to floors, walls, tables, machinery, and other selected scene objects.

🔗 Endpoint System Cable endpoints define where plugs can be inserted and how power is transferred through the connected system.

Supported Endpoint Types Generator Output Supplies power to an attached cable. Powered Device Input Receives power for lamps, machines, doors, terminals, or custom gameplay objects. Standard Socket Provides a reusable connection point for compatible cable plugs. Extension Input Receives power for an extension socket component. Extension Outputs Distributes received power across multiple connected output sockets. ⚙️ Generator Power Source The included generator component acts as a reusable source of electrical power.

Connect a cable to the generator output and route it to a compatible powered device or extension socket. Generator states can be linked to sounds, lights, particles, fuel systems, switches, objectives, and other custom mechanics.

Generator Uses Portable workshop generators Emergency power systems Survival base electricity Industrial machinery power Horror restoration objectives Temporary construction power Sci-fi reactor outputs Puzzle power sources 💡 Powered Devices The powered device component can be used with the included lamp or connected to custom scene objects.

When power becomes available, the device can invoke configured UnityEvents. When power is lost, separate events can disable visuals, sounds, gameplay functions, or other systems.

Possible Powered Objects Lamps and work lights Doors and gates Computer terminals Security systems Industrial machines Elevators Pumps Fans Conveyor systems Puzzle mechanisms Charging stations Custom scripted devices 🔌 Extension Socket The extension socket component receives power through one input and distributes it to multiple output sockets.

This makes it possible to build branching cable networks, connect multiple lamps to one generator, extend the available connection distance, or create more advanced power-routing puzzles.

Example Setup Connect the generator to the extension input. The extension becomes powered. Connect additional cables to the extension outputs. Route those cables to lamps or custom devices. Disconnect the main input to disable every connected output. 📡 UnityEvent Integration The package includes UnityEvent hooks so cable and power changes can be connected to other gameplay systems without modifying the core scripts.

Available Event Uses Plug connected Plug disconnected Socket occupied Socket released Device powered on Device powered off Circuit state changed Generator activated Generator disabled Interaction feedback UI prompt updates Audio playback Particle effects Quest progression Custom gameplay logic 🛠 Customization Important interaction, cable, endpoint, and power settings can be adjusted directly through the Unity Inspector.
