Follow these steps to get an animated number display running in your Unity project. No scripting required.

Step 1 - Import the package

Open Window > Package Manager, locate Digits FX in My Assets and click Import. If you downloaded the .unitypackage manually, double-click it and import all files.

Step 2 - Try the demo scenes

Open one of the included demo scenes to see the asset in action:

Step 3 - Add a UI display

1. Right-click in the Hierarchy → UI → Digits (Unity 6.3+: UI (Canvas) → Digits).
2. This creates a Canvas with a DigitsUI component attached.
3. In the Inspector, configure the profile: set the format string, font, colors, effects, and animation type.
4. Press Play and modify the value property to see the animation.

Step 4 - Add a 3D display

1. Right-click in the Hierarchy → 3D Object → Digits 3D.
2. This creates a GameObject with a Digits3D component.
3. Position it in your scene and configure the profile in the Inspector.
4. Press Play to see the 3D number display.

Step 5 - Customize the profile

The profile controls all visual and behavioral aspects of the display. Key settings to explore first:

• Format String - controls how numbers are displayed (e.g., "0,000" for thousands separators, "HH:MM:SS" for timers).
• Transition Effect - choose from Scroll, Morph, Fade, Flip, Pixelate, or None.
• Colors & Font - set digit color, background, and choose any TrueType or OpenType font.
• Effects - enable glow, fire, ice, glitter, scan lines, or other visual effects.
• Progress Bar - toggle the built-in progress bar and choose horizontal, vertical, or circular layout.

Next Steps

• Core Concepts - learn about profiles, effects, and format strings in depth.
• Scripting Support (C#) - control displays from code with the full API.
