Setup your coding environment

To begin creating mods for Poly Plaza, you’ll need a script editor that supports Lua. We recommend using Sublime Text or Visual Studio Code.

​
Locate the Scripts folder

The Scripts folder is located in your Poly Plaza installation directory:
  1. Open Steam
  2. Right-click on Poly Plaza
  3. Select “Properties”
  4. Go to “Local Files”
  5. Click “Browse Local Files”
  6. Open the “Scripts” folder inside of the PolyPlaza folder

​
Directory structure

The Scripts folder contains several default Lua files that power the base game. Important notes:
  • Be careful when modifying default files as they control core game functionality
  • The Scripts folder resets with each game update
  • We recommend keeping your mod files in a separate backup location and copying them to the Scripts folder for testing

​
Create your first mod

  1. Create a new folder inside the Scripts directory
  2. Add your Lua files inside this folder
  3. Your mod will automatically load when you start Poly Plaza
Example mod structure: 
PolyPlaza/
  └──Scripts/
      └── MyFirstMod/
          ├── init.lua
          └── customFeatures.lua
When you launch Poly Plaza, the game will automatically detect and load your mod files.

​
Testing your mod

  1. Make sure your Lua files are in the Scripts folder
  2. Launch Poly Plaza
  3. The game will load your mod automatically
Keep a backup of your mod files outside the Scripts folder to prevent losing your work during game updates.
