Entity Scripts
You can attach a script to an object to control its behavior. This compartmentalizes your code so it works seamlessly
with scripted entities created by other users. Choose from a variety of pre-made scripts, download new ones from the Workshop Store,
or create your own.
Visual Flowgraph
The flowgraph editor is used to connect scripted entities to make sequences of events. It's easy to set up advanced game
interactions without modifying any code.
Integrated IDE and Lua Debugger
We built an IDE right into the editor interface for seamless editing and debugging of scripts. You can even edit GLSL shaders and see
the results of your code in real-time.
