Magic World Toolset

Inspiration

Meta horizon world asset library is an awesome asset database that allows creators build worlds very fast, I want to help enrich this public asset library.

What it does

Created 2 shared asset: Awakened magic sword, disappearing floor. Both can be used in the world desktop editor, simply import them and they are ready to use.

How we built it

I'm a new horizon world creator and new to the world desktop editor, so this is my first try to build something interesting that helps me learns the platform. I used the 3D models from the public asset library (which of course can be replaced by the end user of the shared assets), utilized generative AI to write initial scripts, and then I manually modified it to fix issues and adjusted the functionalities to satisfy the requirements.

Challenges we ran into

1. Learning to use a whole new platform
2. The projectiles launcher shot the projectile in wrong angle due to avatar animation. It was tricky to fix it using vector operations.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I was able to learn key functions of the world desktop editor and use them fluently, plus finished making 2 assets within a tight schedule

What's next for Magic World Toolset

I plan to create a new world using the desktop editor. The current plan is to build a treasury hunt game happening in a dungeon with traps and puzzles that user has to overcome. I plan to create more shared asset in the process.
