How to Use the Engine

Now that you've opened a project, you have full access to modify the game. You can change:

• Levels
• Models
• Scripts
• Properties

Anything we used to make the game!

To move the camera, hold right click in the viewport and use WASD to move.

Click on objects to inspect them.

You can use the gizmo to:

• Move
• Rotate
• Scale (Does not work with physics objects)

Running the Game in Engine

At the top of the screen there is a ▶ (play) button:

• Click = play
• Shift + Click = play in fullscreen

Examples

All gameplay logic is written in scripts. These scripts have values you can change in the editor.

Player Stats:

1. Click on the player in the Hierarchy window
2. In the Inspector window, scroll down to the Scripts component
3. Open the ./assets/scripts/Player.as dropdown by clicking ▶
4. Open Properties
5. Change the values, for example move_speed, player_height, jump_force
6. Click play and test the values!

Writing Code

For all coders, you can look inside the script and change the code! Let's start with the player script:

1. In the Asset Browser window, go to Technical-Demo > assets > scripts
2. Double-click Player.as
3. I recommend using Visual Studio Code with this extension: AngelScript LSP for VS Code
4. Change the code
5. Reload the script by:
   • Clicking the refresh button in the Scripts component on the player
   • OR open Windows > Scripting System > Scripts and click “Reload all loaded scripts”
