Fullsceen Mercenary system

[Chaosy]

Hello. This is a WIP of mine.

The system basically use a fullscreen UI, aiming to enchant the buildings in melee like maps. Mainly mercenary building and possibly barracks.
To-do list:
*add gold/lumber cost
*add the possibility to add train time before spawning
*add sounds when clicking certain buttons
*Display the model of the units in the UI (unsure if I want to add it opinions?)
*add more visual effects
*actually fix the code so he isn't too ashamed to show it

I am open for suggestions.

Price per item / total price
Item description ( trackable, custom window )

I am using trackables for the 'button' detection, I don't know how to create the custom windows though, I recall seeing a system by maker for it though. Will look into it for sure

I think the option to dispay an item description is not as important as a price display.
Item descriptions are only needed for high quality games with acceptable long game time.
Games in which the player takes the time to read the description.

Well, I added prices now. It looks okay-ish. The best option would be to have the price icons to be smaller, but that's polish things so I think it's better to change such things for later.

Does the window have to be moved to a black area? Can't it apear right above the building? I'm thinking that's fine for an RPG type map but not sure if it would be as nice in a strategy map where you control more units and have to keep an eye on whats going on.

Not sure if above is a valid concern as I've never tested it.

Could you add so that if this option is enabled the user can remove the unit types for sale by pressing [X] a button right to the amount. This might not be useful for your specific task of selling mercenaries, but it would be useful for other things this might be used for.

I'm also wondering if the unit icons are clickable, if not make that an option too?
