@quantum

aren’t you part of the playcanvas team?

Yes

@quantum

am i able to get the editor code to add my visual editor, or join the playcanvas team?

I’m afraid not unless you apply for one of our open roles here:

@quantum

if i run the engine locally, will the ui editor part show up?

You don’t need to do either to get your UI to show up as you can use either the Editor API with Violent Monkey Chrome extension (basically running extra code on top of PlayCanvas via the browser) or with Leonidas’ Editor Scripting Chrome extension: GitHub - leonidaspir/uranus-editor-scripting

You can see some of his work running on top of the Editor without actually needing to run the Editor locally: [DEPRECATED] Released: Artemis Animation Timeline
