About Integration

This integration allows you to use all the features of Easy Build System and call some methods of system through Game Creator 2 by using the Actions, Triggers, and Conditions system, without having to write any code. You can find the list of instructions to call below this page.

The installation guide below will help you install Easy Build System so you can use it with the different default shortcuts to switch between different building modes. If you're looking to set limits on construction, you'll need to use the inventory module right here.

If you encounter errors with integration, it is possible that a new update changed some things in the code and therefore is no longer compatible with the system integration. If this is the case, you can contact support to receive a hotfix quickly.
