Product Name: ARPG Addon Module for GC2 Version: 1.0.0

Configuration

Player Character Setup

To see an example of a fully configured player character with all of the functionality included in our addon template, you can check the following scenes:

• Studiopoof/GC2-ARPG/Scenes/Demo-GC2-ARPG
  • Uses the standard Game Creator 2 character model.
• Studiopoof/Addons/ARPGxSyntyStudios_PolygonStarter/Scenes/Demo-GC2-ARPGxSS
  • Uses a Synty Studios character model.
  • Requires the Starter Pack - Synty POLYGON asset, which can be downloaded for free here.
  • Ensure this asset is imported before using this scene.

Weapon Handle Setup

For melee and shooter weapons created with Game Creator 2, each weapon has an assigned Handle, which consists of:

• Local Position and Local Rotation values (Vector3)
• Assigned character bone for attachment

We've already configured handles for both the standard GC2 character model and Synty Studios character models for each weapon included in this asset.

To ensure the correct handle settings are used in each scene, we’ve set up a global variables file:

📂 _Variables-ARPG-GC2-or-SS

• Contains bool variables that determine whether a scene should use the GC2 default character handles or the Synty Studios handles.
• These variables are automatically set On Start when a scene loads.

Custom Scripts and GC2 Instructions

Beyond providing a structured template, we have also developed custom scripts to expand Game Creator 2’s capabilities. Many of these are custom GC2 instructions, conditions, and triggers.

• When selecting any GC2 instruction in the Unity Inspector, all custom Studiopoof instructions will be found under the parent folder:
  • Studiopoof/

This makes it easy to distinguish our custom instructions and conditions from the default Game Creator 2 options.

Asset Compatibility and Conflict Prevention

To ensure compatibility with the base GC2 demo scenes, we have taken extra steps to prevent conflicts:

• Custom versions of assets like "Bags" were created instead of modifying existing GC2 files, ensuring a clean integration.
• Our demo and configuration files do not alter or overwrite GC2’s base setups.

Using This Asset as a Starting Point

The ARPG Addon Module for GC2 serves as a working showcase and tutorial, demonstrating how to structure an action RPG using multiple GC2 modules. This is not a plug-and-play system with automated player character creator tools, but rather a foundation for building your own game.

If you want to use this asset as a base for your own project:

• Create a new scene and drag in pre-configured prefabs such as:
  • Player (GC2 Character)
  • Enemy-GC2default
• Modify anything you like, including sound effects, sprites, mechanics, and interactions.

Our goal is to provide a jumpstart for developers looking to create an action RPG using Game Creator 2 while integrating multiple modules in a cohesive way. Feel free to experiment, tweak, and expand on what we’ve built!
