Creating a new Resource
===========================================

To set up a new resource, you need to create a ``ResourceData`` asset in the **Project Manager** window:

.. image:: create-resource-data.png
  :width: 600px
  :align: center

In this data, you can set up the ``text Id`` and ``Icon`` fields.

.. warning::
  Currently, these fields are not used by the asset, but you can use them from your own code for UI and other purposes. Future asset versions will introduce a more feature-packed Multi-resources system.

After this, you need to add the new resource to the **Game Settings**:

.. image:: add-resource-data-to-game-settings.png
  :width: 600px
  :align: center

Now you can use your resource data in different asset settings by simply linking your created ``ResourceData`` asset in the fields:

.. image:: resource-data-usage-example.png
  :width: 600px
  :align: center

How to use Resource system from code
****************************************

.. note:: 
  More info about this will be added to the Scripting API and Programming partitions soon.

``Player`` class contains these methods to work with resources:

.. code-block:: csharp 

  // to get resource id, use method resourceData.GetResourceId()

  public void SetResource(string id, int amount)
  public int GetResourceAmount(string id)
  public void AddResource(string id, int amount)
  public void SpendResource(string id, int amount)

  // etc.
