The Create Object action allows the creation of new objects within a scene. Spawning objects is possible via a variety of events, which unlocks plenty of use cases for playful effects and interactions.
Creating a new Create Object Action
- Select an object and create an event on the right-side panel for it (e.g.: Follow, Start, Mouse down)
- Open the event and search for the “Actions” panel
- Add “Create object” to your actions
- Select the object to be created and customize the behavior to your liking.
