A scene is a single screen of your game, it can contain multiple actors and triggers. Your game will typically be made up of many scenes connected together with triggers using the Change Scene event.

Adding a Scene

Click the + button in the Editor Tools and select Scene from the menu. Click on any empty space in the Project Viewport to place the new scene.

You can use the Editor Sidebar to give your scene a name and a background from your project's assets. See the documentation for Backgrounds for more information on adding background images.

Scene Properties

• Name - Names your scene. Useful for locating your scene with the search bar.
• Type - Lets you choose from the list of gamemodes. A scene's type cannot be changed in-game.
• Background - Lets you choose a background from the assets/backgrounds folder.
• Add Notes - Adds an editor-only text field to your scene.

Navigation

Navigation is a list that shows every Actor and Trigger inside the scene. Clicking any name in the list will select that object and show its properties in the Editor Sidebar.

Scripting

To start building a script, select a scene and click the Add Event button in the Editor Sidebar to open the event menu. Select an event to add it to the script.

For more information see the documentation for Scripting.

Adding Collision to a Scene

Select the Collision Tool from the Editor Tools. There are 6 collision types that can be added.

Solid Collision stops colliding actors from entering the tile on any side.
Top/Bottom/Left/Right collision stops colliding actors from entering the tile from that specific side. This is useful for one-way collision and semi-solid platforms.

Each tile can hold a maximum of 1 ladder and 3 collision sides. Adding 4 collision sides will replace the sides with a single solid block. Ladders will not replace existing collision when placed on top of other collision.

Colorizing a Scene

Select the Colorizer Tool from the Editor Tools. There are 6 palettes types that can be added to a scene with Color Mode enabled. Palettes can be adjusted in Settings.

The palettes used in the Colorizer Tool can be swapped out for existing palettes (such as the UI palette) by long-clicking on a palette.

For more information about the drawing mode used for the Colorize Tool and the Collision Tool, see Keyboard Shortcuts.
