Resources: Fonts

This is the section where you can set up fonts for use in your game and customise how they will behave in Interfaces. GG Maker projects come with two default fonts: Main Font and Health Font.

Main Font is used in most events such as the Message Box, displaying log messages, etc.

Health Font is used when spawning number pop-ups over an actor’s head to display a change in health or another statistic. This pop-up can be turned on or off in the Visual section.

  General  Display Name: This is used to identify the font in the editor.

Scripting ID: This is used to identify the font in scripts.
