I'm a developer, how can I make my mod compatible?

By default, most items added to the game by other mods must work in SnapBuilder. In extreme cases where this is not the case, or SnapBuilder does not by default understand the direction of rotation of objects, it is easy to make objects compatible without relying on SnapBuilder.

Simply add a child GameObject named SnapBuilder to the GameObject's assembly model. Whatever localRotation and localPosition values you set for this GameObject, SnapBuilder will treat them as transformations of the default element.

GameObject named SnapBuilder must be a direct child of GameObject in Builder.ghostModel when the user is interacting with Habitat Builder.

For example

public override GameObject GetGameObject().

{

GameObject prefab = ... // Here is the code to download the prefab.

// Get a model

GameObject model = prefab.FindChild(«MY_MODEL'S_TRANSFORM»);

// Make sure SnapBuilder understands the model

var snapBuilder = new GameObject(«SnapBuilder»);

snapBuilder.transform.SetParent(model.transform, false);

snapBuilder.transform.localEulerAngles = new Vector3(-90, -90, 0);

// Other operations.

}
