Level Properties control the global settings that affect the entire level regardless of section. Access this menu by pressing Escape → Level Properties.

​
Properties

​
Max Time

The maximum time allowed for the level (in seconds). If the player exceeds this time, the level is lost. Default: 100.

​
Initial Time

The starting time for the countdown timer. The level begins with this many seconds remaining. Default: 100.

​
Lives

The number of lives the player starts with. Set to 0 for default behavior. Default: 0.

​
Hourglass

Enable or disable the hourglass mechanic. When enabled, the player can collect hourglass items to add time. Default: Enabled.

​
Infinite Lives

When enabled, the player has unlimited lives and cannot lose from running out of lives. Default: Enabled.

​
Level Script

The Script button opens the Script Properties panel for the level itself. This allows you to attach a Lua script that runs for the entire level, with:
  • Script Reference — Name of the script in the level’s script collection
  • Script Tag — Identifier for this level instance
  • Local Variables — Key-value pairs accessible from the level script

​
Sections Button

The Sections button opens the Sections Editor, where you can create, edit, and switch between level sections. See Sections for details.

​
How Properties Are Used

These values are stored in the LevelData object and used by the gameplay system:
  • InitialTime and MaxTime control the in-game timer
  • Lives and HasInfiniteLives determine the player’s life count
  • IsHourglassEnabled toggles hourglass item functionality
  • BestEditorElapsedTime tracks the best completion time from testing
Level properties apply to the entire level — they are not per-section. If you need different settings per section, use the section properties system instead.
