Unreal Moto Rider – Admob | Unity | Firebase

Introduction

Welcome to the comprehensive tutorial on integrating the Unreal Moto Rider game with Admob, Unity, and Firebase. In this tutorial, we will cover the step-by-step process of setting up Admob ads in your Unreal Moto Rider game, integrating it with Unity, and linking it to Firebase.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

• Unreal Moto Rider game installed on your computer
• Unity Hub installed on your computer
• Firebase account created and linked to your project
• Admob account created and linked to your Firebase project
• Basic knowledge of Unity and C# programming

Step 1: Setting up Admob

1. Log in to your Admob account and create a new ad unit for your game. You can choose the ad format (interstitial, rewarded video, etc.) and the ad placement (top of the screen, bottom of the screen, etc.).
2. Note down the ad unit ID, which will be used in the Unity code.
3. In your Admob account, go to the "Settings" tab and enable the "Test Ads" option. This will allow you to test the ads in your game.

Step 2: Integrating Admob with Unity

1. Open your Unity project and create a new script by going to "Assets" > "Create" > "C# Script". Name the script "AdmobManager".
2. Open the AdmobManager script and add the following code:

   
   using UnityEngine;
   using Google-Mobile-Ads-Unity;

public class AdmobManager : MonoBehaviour { private InterstitialAd interstitialAd; private RewardedVideoAd rewardedVideoAd;

void Start()
{
    // Initialize Admob
    MobileAds.Initialize(initStatus => {
        // Load interstitial ad
        LoadInterstitialAd();
    });
}

void LoadInterstitialAd()
{
    // Load interstitial ad
    interstitialAd = new InterstitialAd(AD_UNIT_ID);
    interstitialAd.LoadAd(new AdRequest.Builder().Build());
}

void ShowInterstitialAd()
{
    // Show interstitial ad
    if (interstitialAd.IsLoaded())
    {
        interstitialAd.Show();
    }
}

void LoadRewardedVideoAd()
{
    // Load rewarded video ad
    rewardedVideoAd = new RewardedVideoAd(AD_UNIT_ID);
    rewardedVideoAd.LoadAd(new AdRequest.Builder().Build());
}

void ShowRewardedVideoAd()
{
    // Show rewarded video ad
    if (rewardedVideoAd.IsLoaded())
    {
        rewardedVideoAd.Show();
    }
}

}

3. Replace `AD_UNIT_ID` with the ad unit ID noted down in Step 1.
4. Save the script and attach it to a GameObject in your scene.

**Step 3: Integrating Firebase**

1. In your Firebase account, go to the "Projects" tab and select your project.
2. Click on the "General" tab and note down the `API key` and `App ID`.
3. In your Unity project, go to "Assets" > "Create" > "Firebase" and create a new Firebase configuration file.
4. Fill in the `API key` and `App ID` noted down in Step 2 and save the file.

**Step 4: Integrating Admob with Firebase**

1. In your Firebase configuration file, add the following code:
```json
{
  "api_key": "<API_KEY>",
  "app_id": "<APP_ID>",
  "admob_ad_unit_id": "<AD_UNIT_ID>"
}

Replace <API_KEY>, <APP_ID>, and <AD_UNIT_ID> with the actual values.

Step 5: Testing the Admob Integration

1. Run your Unity game and test the ad integration by calling the ShowInterstitialAd() or ShowRewardedVideoAd() functions in your script.
2. Make sure the ads are displayed correctly and reward the user with virtual currency or other rewards.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have covered the step-by-step process of integrating Admob ads in your Unreal Moto Rider game using Unity and Firebase. By following these steps, you can add revenue-generating ads to your game and enhance the user experience. Remember to test the ad integration thoroughly to ensure it works correctly.
