Create ArcGIS Map with C# in Unity

[WH1981]

Hello,

I want to make a ArcGIS map in Unity with C++. Because with this instead of the Map Creator i can change the visibility of layers in the play modus i read. I follow the tutorial : https://developers.arcgis.com/unity/maps/tutorials/display-a-map-api/#prepare-the-script

And this i my code now:

using Esri.ArcGISMapsSDK.Components;
using Esri.ArcGISMapsSDK.Samples.Components;
using Esri.ArcGISMapsSDK.Utils.GeoCoord;
using Esri.GameEngine.Extent;
using Esri.GameEngine.Geometry;
using Esri.Unity;
using UnityEngine;
using System;

private void CreateArcGISMapComponent()
{
	arcGISMapComponent = FindObjectOfType<ArcGISMapComponent>();

	if (!arcGISMapComponent)
	{
		var arcGISMapGameObject = new GameObject("ArcGISMap");
		arcGISMapComponent = arcGISMapGameObject.AddComponent<ArcGISMapComponent>();
	}

	arcGISMapComponent.OriginPosition = geographicCoordinates;
	arcGISMapComponent.MapType = Esri.GameEngine.Map.ArcGISMapType.Local;
	arcGISMapComponent.MapTypeChanged += new ArcGISMapComponent.MapTypeChangedEventHandler(CreateArcGISMap);
}

Who can help me a bit with this?

Hello, I find the problem. I was missing:

public class ArcGIS_map : MonoBehaviour
{

In the top of the script above the APIkey.

But i have still a problem with a button to turn of a layer. In the ArcGIS map script in the Main Camera i set laag_2.

The layer is visible when i hit play. On the button i add the script Remove_Layer, but in the Onclick part of the button the RemoveLayer() function is missing. I get a error. I think the scripts can't find each other.

[LDD_NW · Accepted solution]

Hey I ran into a similar problem to you but I was able to get around it. The way got it to work probably isn't best practice however so i am very open to feedback. First I declared the public layer at the very beginning of the map creator script:

 public Esri.GameEngine.Layers.ArcGIS3DObjectSceneLayer layer_1;

In the CreateArcGISMap function, I didn't declare the layer as a variable.

        layer_1 = new Esri.GameEngine.Layers.ArcGIS3DObjectSceneLayer("https://tiles.arcgis.com/tiles/hMKr5amzqrWbbTo8/arcgis/rest/services/IncomePerCap_low_elevation/SceneServer", "Income Per Capita low extrusion", 1.0f, true, "");

And then I wrote a function within my map creator script (not a new script like you have done) that is used to toggle the layers on and off.

 public void ToggleIncome()
    {
       
        if (layer_1_visibility == true)
        {
            Debug.Log("Remove Layer 1");
            arcGISMap.Layers.Remove(arcGISMap.Layers.IndexOf(layer_1));
            
            layer_1_visibility = false;

            Debug.Log("layer_1_visibility" + layer_1_visibility);

            return;
        }

        if (layer_1_visibility == false)
        {
            Debug.Log("add Layer 1");
            arcGISMap.Layers.Add(layer_1);
            
            layer_1_visibility = true;

            Debug.Log("layer_1_visibility" + layer_1_visibility);
            
            return;
        }

        
        
    }

This for the most part has worked fine for me to use buttons to toggle layers on and off (except when sideloading onto quest 2 which results in some glitching of layer)

Below is my full segment of the map creator script :

using Esri.ArcGISMapsSDK.Utils.GeoCoord;

[WH1981]

Thanks for your answer. Now i know how to make the map and layers public, without to activate the CreateArcGisMap function to update my layers. That was now my solution with toggles and after that i made a button to update the map. But your solution is better. But i don't have a lot of glitsing, maybe my map is smaller. 

Only i have another problem with my extent. Image tile layers going outside of my circle 1000 m extent. Do you also have that problem? Bug?

[LDD_NW]

Hey yes I initially did have an issue with the extent. The way I got around it was by adjusting the extent values in the inspector on the ArcGISMap object within the ArcGIS Map component to be the same as what I declared in the code. This should make the extent work. 

I am curious what sort of glitching you are having in your map because  am having issues currently with glitching but only when I create maps using C# API?

[WH1981]

That doesn't work for me > Extent.

I don't know if a have glitching when i use the Mapcreator UI. In ArcGIS Pro i also make Multipatch layers and use the Layer 3D tool to make 3D layers. And the i Share the Map as Scene Map and then get the https links in My Content of ArcGIS Online. Maybe its glitching because of layers lies on top of each other. Maybe you can give the layers a little elevation height difference in AP.
