New page

Groups of Entities can be combined to create interesting spaceships, obstacles or scenery.

Select the [[Entity Editor|Entity Editor]] and create a new Entity or choose an existing one to modify. In this example, we will be modifying an existing entity.

[[File:PartsTutorial1.png|link=]]

Select the ''Parts'' tab

[[File:PartsTutorial2.png|link=]]

The ''Part'' and ''Tools'' windows will open.

[[File:PartsTutorial3.png|link=]]

Click on the ''Add New Part'' option on the ''Part'' window. A selection pane will open and you can choose another Entity to be added as a Part.

[[File:PartsTutorial4.png|link=]]

The new Part will be added to the Entity and any meshes which block the currently selected part will be shown in wireframe.

[[File:PartsTutorial5.png|link=]]

Selecting the ''Move'' option from the ''Tools'' window will activate the move [[Gizmos|gizmo]].

We can move and rotate the Part using the Gizmo.

[[File:PartsTutorial6.png|link=]]

You can use the ''Snap to Object'' option in the ''Tool''s window to make the Part snap to the edges of other objects in the Entity as you move it.

[[File:PartsTutorial7.png|link=]]

The wireframe mode will automatically turn off if the Part is not hidden. But selecting another tab is a quick way of seeing the Entity in its model form.

[[File:PartsTutorial8.png|link=]]

We can now add more parts and, once we’re ready, go to the ''Confirm'' tab and press the ''Done'' button to update the Entity with our new parts.

[[File:PartsTutorial9.png|link=]]

Once the Entity is complete, it can be placed in a level ready to play.
