Prop Component

The prop component is a fundamental rendering component for creating visible scene objects in mods. The environment of a mod is created by placing many props into the scene. The prop component is built for convenience. Its functionality can be replicated using a combination of a mesh renderer and a collider component.

Creating a Prop Component

From the Hierarchy

In the hierarchy, right click and choose 3D Object > Prop. This can also be accessed from the to the top of the mod editor toolbar under GameObject. This will add a new gameobject containing a Prop component as a child of the selected gameobject.

3D Object > Cube/Sphere/Plane also create props, but automatically sets their Prop field to a cube, sphere or plane prop asset respectively.

From the Inspector

The Prop component can be added to an existing gameobject through the inspector. The gameobject should be selected from the hierarchy or scene view.

• Add a Prop Component by clicking the Add Component button at the top of the inspector and choosing Rendering > Prop.

Only one Prop Component can be added to a GameObject.

Component Settings

Property	Description
Prop	The visible prop asset to display.
Tint Color	The prop's colors will be tinted with this color. White will show the prop's original colors.
Collision Type	Define how this object collides with other objects.
None	Disables all collision.
Box	Uses a box collider that tightly fits the visible prop asset.
Sphere	Uses a sphere collider that tightly fits the visible prop asset.
Mesh	Uses a mesh collider. The collision will exactly match the visible mesh of the prop asset. Use this for advanced shapes that need exact collisions.
Shadow	Should shadows be cast from this prop.
Off	This prop will not cast any shadows.
On	This prop will cast shadows.
Two Sided	This prop will cast shadows. It will cast shadows from both sides of each polygon that makes up the visible model.
Shadows Only	This prop will only cast shadows. The prop itself will not be visible, only its shadow.
Custom Materials	A list of any custom materials. These will override the default material used by the prop asset.

Example Usage

Everything in this simple scene is made of props.

Props are the primary building blocks of minigame and board mod environments. Some of the provided props are meant to be used together and will perfectly connect or align when placed beside each other. Using grid snapping (Hold CTRL while moving in the scene view) or exact values in the gameobject's Transform Component can help with alignment of props. Most props don't fit together nicely and are best placed roughly, slightly overlapping, to create a solid floor/wall.
