In this lesson on how to make Among Us in Unity, we will show you how to create a simple character customization menu for changing the player’s color. We will begin by creating the menu and the menu is made up of a few panels and a button for each color.
We will then create a the character customizer script. This script will just have one function that is used for each button in our menu. This function will take a color and send it to the player so the player can use that color to set its sprite color.
