Library & Quick Access Bar

This section of the Interface is where you can choose blocks and assets to add to your Experience.

New Game Maker 0.11 Feature - Asset Kits

Quick Access Bar

The Quick Access Bar contains 10 slots that serve as shortcuts for elements dragged into each slot.

Groups

The Groups dropdown on the left allows you to store and name 10 groups of Quick Access Bar assets, for a total of 100 blocks and assets to store.

WORKFLOW TIP Use Quick Access groups to create shortcuts by scene/area, terrain (like a palette), characters, etc.

Managing Shortcuts

A coloured outline (orange, purple, blue, green, grey, and none) around an asset in a slot indicates its rarity. This is replaced with a white outline when selected.

Add a Shortcut

Drag and drop an Element from the Library and into the preferred Quick Access slot. This will replace an item currently in the slot.

Use a Shortcut

To use a shortcut, left click the slot or type the correlating number shown in each slot.

Delete a Shortcut

  • Right-click on it and click Remove.

  • Drag and drop an element out of the Quick Access Bar.
