Adding clickables
Clickable components are a great way to indicate that something can be interacted with. This can be used to open product pages, take users to different links, or used within a game to collect items.
You can read more about clickable elements here.
Steps
- Open the "Place Actors" tab and go to "Emperia Interactables.”
- Drag and drop the "Clickable" type into the scene.
- Create a
Style
data asset. - In the
Style
asset, define the type to beImage
and upload an image that you want to use. - Attach the created
Style
asset to theClickable
component as shown here.
We suggest you experiment with different Style
types, such as ImageAnimation
and Video
. You can find more information on how that is set up here.
Wrapping up
Congratulations! You have successfully created a Style
data asset and created a Clickable
object. Now, you will be able to re-use the style for different clickable elements if necessary, and will be able to invoke certain actions when a user clicks on the cube.

Automated Action Model Creation Process
To streamline the process of creating action models, assets, and attaching them to interactables, we now support direct editing within the Details Panel of interactables placed in the scene.
Using the Action Type dropdown, you can specify the type of interactable action. Once selected, the relevant properties will appear below the dropdown for configuration. This automatically creates and attaches the corresponding action models and action type assets to the interactable, significantly reducing the number of steps required.
If you forget to save your action models or action type assets, you can simply clear the action models array on the interactable and make a slight modification to any Action Type property. This will automatically regenerate the entire asset.
