Plugins
Plugins are add-ons for Studio, written by other creators, that add tools to the editor. They’re shared through the Creator Store, and you find them in the Toolbox’s Plugins tab.
Find plugins
Section titled “Find plugins”-
In Studio, open the Toolbox tab on the lower right.
-
Select the Plugins tab.
-
Type in Search to look through plugin names, descriptions and tags, and choose Popular or New to sort them.
Install a plugin
Section titled “Install a plugin”-
Select Install next to the plugin.
-
The dialog lists what the plugin asks to do, with a checkbox for each permission. All of them start checked. Clear any you don’t want to give it.
-
Select Install.
Plugins are code written by someone else, so only grant what a plugin needs. If a plugin asks for nothing, it can’t read or change your games.
Installed plugins belong to your Rally account, not to a single game.
Plugin permissions
Section titled “Plugin permissions”| Permission | Lets the plugin |
|---|---|
read-game |
See the game’s objects and properties. |
edit-game |
Add, change and delete objects. |
read-scripts |
Read your scripts’ code. |
edit-scripts |
Change your scripts’ code. |
network:none |
Nothing: it states that the plugin has no network access. Plugins never get network access. |
A plugin gets only the permissions you leave checked, never more than it asked for. To change what you granted, uninstall the plugin and install it again.
Uninstall a plugin
Section titled “Uninstall a plugin”An installed plugin shows Installed with a check mark in the Plugins tab. Select Installed to uninstall it.
If a plugin you installed is removed from the Creator Store, the Plugins tab tells you, and the plugin won’t run.
Report a plugin
Section titled “Report a plugin”Open the ⋯ menu on a plugin and choose Report to tell Rally staff about harmful or offensive plugins. See Report a model: reporting works the same way.
Studio doesn’t have a way to publish plugins yet.
