Connect your UI to RaiseArc

Start state: a game and generated NativeGame scene from the first game. The screen's RaiseArcGame owns the official session host. Its RaiseArcUIDocument selects that Game object. Stop Play before editing the UI.

  1. Select Screen — your UI document in the Hierarchy. In its RaiseArc UI Document component, select Edit bindings, then Open UI Builder. In UI Builder's Library → Standard, drag a Label into the HUD. Name it my-money, set temporary text, and style it. Save the UXML.
  2. Back in the UIBindings Inspector, select Refresh targets, Add connection, target my-money (Label), Display → Money, Action → None, and Save bindings. Press Play. The label should show the current host money, changing only after a real command.
  3. Add a standard Button, name it my-plan-button, and save the UXML. Add a connection for that Button with Action → Open Panel and panel plan-panel. Play and click once. The plan opens without advancing game time.
  4. Open the generated ActivityCard.uxml in UI Builder. Move the label and cost display or change its USS styling, then save. Do not edit the package template; edit the copy beside your game. Add a new activity in Studio. On Play, a new card should appear automatically. Click the activity card (its internal UXML name is place-activity) and confirm that the chosen stable activity ID enters the draft slot.
  5. Confirm the plan and use Begin next activity. The host should apply the activity exactly once. Restart and load to check that the UI reconnects to the restored host.

Finished result: your UXML, USS, and binding assets are editable in your game's Assets/RaiseArcGames folder. Labels and buttons use standard UI Toolkit elements; no user C# is required for these listed bindings. A custom game rule outside the available command set needs a developer extension.

Troubleshooting: a missing target usually means the UXML Name differs from the binding target. A wrong type is reported by binding validation. If a card disappears after filtering or sorting, check its data-bound stable ID rather than its row position. Package-install validation of this full flow is still pending.
