The Class Designer device is used in conjunction with the Class Selector device to make it easy to create class-based gameplay.
The Class Designer gives you a way to define a custom class with an initial set of attributes and an inventory loadout.
Each device is used to design one custom class. To define the inventory loadout for this class, drop items onto the device to register them for that class.
The Class Identifier is used by:
- The Class Selector device
- The Team Settings & Inventory device
- My Island > Game settings
There is a hierarchy of setting overrides, described as follows:
- Island Settings are the baseline.
- Team Settings & Inventory overrides Island Settings if there is a specific value set in the device.
- Class Designer overrides both Team Settings & Inventory and Island Settings, if there is a specific value set in the device that differs from the Island Settings or Team Settings & Inventory values.
See the pages under Island Settings for more info.
For information on finding devices see Using Devices.
If you're using multiple copies of a device on an island, it can be helpful to rename them. You can choose names that relate to each device's purpose, so it's easier to remember what each one does.
Device Options
A player cannot interact with this device in Play mode even if it is visible. This device has some basic functionality, like setting the maximum health and shields for the class, and whether items are granted to the player when they respawn. Additionally, there are some advanced options, such as turning on player movement features like Sprinting and Sliding.
Contextual Filtering
Some devices are affected by a feature called contextual filtering. This feature hides or displays options depending on the values selected for certain related options. This reduces clutter in the Customize panel and makes options easier to manage and navigate. To help identify them, values that trigger contextual filtering are in italic.
All options are listed, including those affected by contextual filtering; if they are hidden or displayed based on a specific option's value, there will be a note about it in the Description field for that option.
Default values are bold. Values that trigger contextual filtering are italic.
You can configure this device with the following options.
