Using Visual Effect Powerup Devices

Use Visual Effect Powerups to trigger a visual effect (a glow or an outline) when a player picks something up, or does something noteworthy.

Powerups can be triggered by player interaction, or by binding the effect to another device.

For example, you can set the Visual Effect Powerup to be triggered when a player picks up a Health Powerup, and grant the player health and a green glow (the effect).

To find the Visual Effect Powerup device, go to the Creative inventory and select the Devices tab. From there, you can search or browse for the device. For more 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.

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.
