Skybox

The Logic prop that changes the sky around the room. You can add your own images or use the procedurally generated sky by setting the colors yourself. You can also change the skybox during gameplay by triggering another skybox at a later time. Only one skybox can be activated at a time. Triggering another skybox will hide the previous skybox.

Properties

🔸Type

Procedural - Generated skybox based on colors.

6 Sided - Created based on textures.

Use your own images or just color the sky by setting the color values.

• Procedural - Creates a horizon line that separates the sky and ground, allowing you to choose the colors yourself.
• 6 Sided - If you want to have a bit more control over the look of the skybox you can use your own images.

🔸Active On Start

When checked, this skybox is activated as soon as the player starts the room. Only one skybox can be activated on start.

Skyboxes can be triggered like some other props to be activated at a certain time. This checkmark determines whether this skybox should be activated when the room starts.

When checked, this skybox will be active when the player starts the room.

When not checked, this skybox will only be active after it has been triggered by another prop.

note

You can turn off the preview of the Active On Start skybox in the room settings in the upper left corner of the Room Editor.

🔸Sun

When checked, the skybox will be generated with a sun.

The sun is just a visual element of the skybox. It does not add any additional lighting to the room itself, you have to use the light prop for that.

When checked, the sun will be generated on top of the sky

When not checked, the sun will not be shown.
