Set up gameplay actions

Back to Use gameplay actions.

1. Open a game project and scene. Create/select a Part.
2. Set its Anchored attribute to true so gravity does not compete with scripted movement. Action transforms are local to the object's parent.
3. Use Programming > Object Component Script, select Lua 5.4, and save it under scripts/. Attach it through Programming > Attach Existing Script, + Add Component in the Inspector, or drag it onto the object.
4. Replace its source with the complete example below and press Play. The object moves to (10, 5, 0) in one second, holds for two seconds, and returns in one second. The Console prints closed when the sequence finishes. Stop Play restores the authored scene. No Update function is required.

return {
  Start = function()
    local door = rustic.entity_id()
    Sequence.new()
      .move(door, Vector3(10, 5, 0), 1, Ease.OutCubic)
      .wait(2)
      .move(door, Vector3(0, 0, 0), 1, Ease.InCubic)
      .play()
      .onFinished(function() print("closed") end)
  end,
}

Global and scene scripts use the same Programming menus for their scope. Timers and subscriptions in those scopes last until Stop/reload; they are not removed when an unrelated object disappears. Actions targeting an object are removed when that object disappears. Use explicit stable entity IDs resolved through Game.scene.Find(path) for controllers that target other objects.

For external languages, install the toolchain described in the corresponding language guide. Programming > Open Programming Workspace regenerates SDK/editor support after an engine upgrade; generated SDK files are not gameplay source.
