Zones Edit Mode in Editor

Hello, I’m learning about playcanvas editor but I don’t find documentation about Physics and Zones edit modes. Playing with some sample projects I’ve learned the utility from physics edit mode but not for zones edit mode. Someone can tell me the utility or where can find some docs?

Hi @chewuaka,

So the zone component went private at some point in 2018 if I remember correctly. Currently you aren’t able to access it in editor.

Coincidentally yesterday a discussion started in the engine repo about it, agreed it’s something useful to have:

In the meantime you can get part of its functionality by using triggers, with the collision component.

Thanks @Leonidas! :slight_smile:

Yeah, we should disable the Zones Edit mode for now. It doesn’t do anything.

This week, there was a request to re-enable the zone component here:
