Easy GUI Design?

#1 Post by Swein » Sun Oct 16, 2022 4:59 pm

Making a design with codes is quite challenging for me. Is there an editor that makes this much easier? Frankly, I'm tired of constantly trying things, CTRL+S and starting the game.

Thank you but this is too general, and dealing with codes again. I've seen an editor before, but I couldn't find it.

There is the action editor, which lets you mess with things in a much more visual way. You'll still have to go into the code a little, but it'll make that job a bit easier.
