I have found out recently that there is a simple inspect element trick you can do on a places settings page. Its pretty easy to use, and convenient in the long run, as you don’t have to open a game on studio, go to asset manager, and click on the place you wanted to edit.

  • FIRST - Go to your place’s settings page on the creator hub:

  • SECOND - open up inspect element:

  • THIRD - Click the three dots next to your game’s name and click [Open in Studio]

  • FOURTH - Check back in your inspect element, and look for something like this, you may need to scroll in the source window to find the element.

  • FIFTH - Copy the text inside the “src” argument.

image

  • SIXTH - Go to your desktop and create a shortcut

image

  • SEVENTH - Paste the text into the input bar, and voila! After that, you should be able to customize the shortcut to your needs, like the name and the icon.

Unfortunately, i dont know how it works for mac, but its probably identical; just paste in the text into any shortcut input bar, and it should work.

Hope this helps!

This link should work. So you don’t have to do the whole inspect thing, just replace the IDs.

its a little harder for people to get the universe id, so this method is convenient for people who dont know all of that info

Oh wow this works great! Thank you so much. Saved me a lot of time as a developer!

Also, this should be under #resources:community-tutorials

Ohhhh this is really cool!

I looked into doing this some time ago, and looked into the inspect element of the game’s page (not the settings), but I couldn’t find anything

Will definitely be using this
