Place and Customize Devices

Devices are assets that do things. Different devices do different things, but they all do something. Some devices wait for player interaction to do something, while other devices do something when they're triggered by another device.

Devices, along with other devices and player actions, are what create gameplay.

In this tutorial, using devices, you will set up the game so that the player receives a weapon when spawning onto the island. The player will use that weapon to shoot at the targets. When the player hits a target, their score will change. This is a basic gameplay loop, which is a key element of game design.
