Toolbox and Creator Store

The Creator Store is where Rally creators share models: anything from a single part to a whole building, scripts included. You browse it and insert from it with Studio’s Toolbox, one of the tabs on the lower right of Studio, alongside Properties and Activity.

The Toolbox has three tabs:

• Creator Store: models other creators have shared.
• My models: models you’ve published, including private ones.
• Plugins: add-ons for Studio. See Plugins.

Find models

In the Creator Store tab, type in Search to look through model names, descriptions and tags. Choose Popular to see the most-inserted models first, or New for the newest. Select Load more at the bottom of the list to see more.

Each model shows its name, its creator, how many times it’s been inserted and, if it contains scripts, an amber badge with the number of scripts.

You can also browse models outside Studio: on the Games page, select Browse models in the Creator Store. To add one to your game, come back to the Toolbox in Studio.

Insert a model

1. If the model should go inside something, such as a Model or Folder in Workspace, select that first.

2. Select Insert next to the model.

3. If the model contains scripts written by someone else, Studio shows them before anything is added: each script’s path, kind and length. Choose Insert to add the model with its scripts, Insert without scripts to leave the code out, or Cancel.

Studio adds the model where it was when its creator published it, selects it and moves the camera to it. Like everything else, inserting is one undo step.

Read code before you publish

A model’s scripts were written by someone else. They run inside your game’s sandbox, but they can change how your game behaves. After inserting, open each script from the Explorer and read it before you publish your game. Learn more in Sandbox and performance.

A few more things to know:

• Studio checks every model again before inserting it, so a broken model can’t be added.
• A model that is itself a script can only be inserted with its code.
• If Studio says Select where to put it first, the model needs a particular parent. For example, a light must go inside a part.
• The inserted copy remembers which store model and version it came from, in two attributes on its top object: RallyPackageId and RallyPackageVersion.
• Inserting someone else’s model counts toward its insert count once per person per day.

Publish your own model

Publish anything you’ve built so you can reuse it in any of your games, and share it with everyone if you like.

1. Select the object to publish, such as a Model, in the viewport or the Explorer. Everything inside it is included. If several objects are selected, Studio publishes the one you selected last, so group them into a Model first to publish them together.

2. In the Toolbox, open My models and select Publish selection to store.

3. Fill in the Publish to the Creator Store form:

   • Name: up to 80 characters.
   • Description: what it is and how to use it.
   • Tags: comma-separated, up to 10, such as vehicle, sci-fi. Each tag can be up to 24 characters of letters, numbers, spaces, - and _.
   • List in the Creator Store: on to share it with everyone, off to keep it private. Private models only show up for you, under My models.

4. Check the summary under the form (how many objects, and how many scripts are included), then select Publish.

If a model includes scripts, people who insert it see their code first.

Models can contain up to 5,000 objects and 100 scripts, with at most 200 KB of code and 2 MB in total. They can’t contain services, players or characters. If something doesn’t fit, the form tells you what to change before you can publish. You can have up to 500 items in the store.

Publish an update

If you insert one of your own models, change it and publish the copy, the form offers two choices: Update the original model, which publishes it as the model’s next version, or Publish as new, which creates a separate model.

Delete a model

In My models, open the ⋯ menu on a model and choose Delete from store. It’s removed for good. Copies already in games stay where they are.

Report a model

If a model contains harmful code, stolen work or offensive content, tell Rally staff:

1. Open the ⋯ menu on the model and choose Report.

2. Describe what’s wrong, in 3 to 500 characters.

3. Select Report.

Reporting the same model again replaces your earlier reason. You can report models in the Toolbox or on the models page outside Studio.

Staff can hide a model that breaks the rules. Hidden models leave the store and can’t be inserted by others; copies already in games stay. If one of your models is hidden, you see a Hidden badge on it in My models, and hovering over the badge shows the reason. For community rules, see Moderation and safety.
