Select an entity, move it using the mouse and click to place it. To place multiple copies of an entity, hold down [CTRL] while placing.

Use the Gizmos on the toolbar to move, rotate and scale the Player.


Player Window

The Player window will open when a Player is added or selected. When a Player is placed, it will have three tabs:

General - sets general player properties such as movement and weapons

Weapons - sets up the player's weapons

Actions - sets up actions such as upgrades to be set up when selected events occur


All other properties (Model/Sprite, Collisions, Physics, Effects and Tags) will be as set in the Entity Editor for the entity. Changing a property in the Entity Editor will change it for all instances of that entity, for example if the explosion effect when a ship is destroyed is changed in the Entity Editor, the new explosion will be used for all instances of that ship in a game. To jump to the model in the Entity Editor quickly, click the arrow by the Entity in the General Tab.
