<aside> 💡 In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to change some global settings for your level.

</aside>

As you have your newly created level open, you can highlight the LevelSettings section in the Hierarchy window to change some of its basic settings over in the Inspector tab.

<aside> 💡 Note that hovering over each of the settings with the mouse cursor will show a tooltip with more in-depth instructions.

In this menu, you’ll find the following settings:

• General:

  • Level Name: change the name of your level.
  • Time Limit: the maximum amount of time the level will run before starting the “3, 2, 1” countdown and starting the Replay Mode. The current maximum time limit is 180 seconds (3 minutes)

• Scoring:

  • The settings here determine the type, evaluation, and presentation of the player's score. For more detailed instructions, take a look at the Scoring page! **

• World Extents:

  • World Size: adjusting this will resize both the main Land Block (given that one has been enabled as well as assigned in the Master Land Block field) and an invisible wall that stops the player from falling off the level.
  • Enable Master Land Block / Master Land Block: this is enabled and linked by default.
  • Reflection Probe Position: the reflection probe provides a spherical image that shiny surfaces will use for approximate reflections. Make sure that the probe isn’t placed inside the ground or other geometry, otherwise reflections will be dark!

• Theme Override:

  • Use Theme Defaults: If you turn this off, you can customize the active theme to your liking for the active level.

    • You’ll get options for adjusting the wind angle/magnitude, sun direction, and rain intensity. You can even adjust gravity! NOTE: Going overboard with rain and snow rates will affect game performance!

      

• Theme: This contains a list of theme presets that control the weather, lighting, object colors, time of day, and even time of year in the scene.

• Background: Contains a selection of background elements, including a distant city, monument valleys, or a mountain range. If you wish, you can also leave the background empty.

• Tune: Controls which soundtrack is playing during the level.

• Description: What you write here will be shown as your level's description in Steam Workshop.

• Preview Image: Your level’s title image for the Steam Workshop menu. A square 512x512 .png image is recommended.
