Groups
- 4A Games
A group is a collection of objects that can act as one. They can be created in the editor for convenience.
Groups, different from Prefabs, can be changed, updated, ungrouped, etc.
A group can be as simple as a collection of objects (e.g. ground tiles) or as complex as the main character of a game.
Placement and Setup:
There are several ways to add a group to your level:
- Look for General → Group in the Entities Toolbar.
- Look for Group in the Entity List Window.
- By using the Shortcut "G+LMB" on the level.
- Look for Group Selected in the Groups Toolbar.
- By selecting object(s) and using the Shortcut "CTRL+G".
A group should look like a red transparent cube on the scene.
