Creating Instance Portals: Step-by-Step Guide

In our previous Tutorial Thursday, we dove into custom code for static portals. This week, we're building on that with something more dynamic: instance portals!

An important term to know is “instance rooms” which allow you to group maps together and create an “instanced” copy of them where players can experience a section of your world alone, or together. This lesson will show you different ways to manage these instance rooms by implementing your own instance portal.

If you ever wanted to implement separate dedicated spaces for your players but didn’t know how to do it, this tutorial has you covered. By the end, you'll be able to design and implement awesome instance portal systems that boost player engagement and expand your Worlds.

Ready to unlock your world's full navigation potential? Watch the video below.

Thank you,

The MapleStory Worlds Team
