Hello GimCreators.
Today I present a guide to you that is a better version of the default gimkit creative tutorial.
So here we go.
What is Gimkit Creative
Gimkit Creative is a way that YOU the community can make your own maps inside of Gimkit. You can then share these maps with your friends via showcase links, or even publish them on gimkit.
The Add button
You'll Find this button located in the top right corner or you can press eTerrain
Terrain is well. Terrain is the floors & walls of your map there are so many to choose from that you can make so many cool designs with them. Experiment around with terrains and other stuff like that. You can also assign layers to terrain but will get on that here in a second.
Devices
Here’s the big button devices are how you add mechanics into your gimkit creative game Ill link the ultimate guides to every device guides these will give you a basis on every device in the game
TUGTED Part 1
TUGTED Part 2
TUGTED Part 3
Props
These are things like boats and tables and the other stuff you may see in gimkit 2D modes these are 3Dish props to add into your game in these props you can customize there shadows, collision, and more. There are hundreds of props to choose from so go crazy.
Wires
There are 2 types of ways you can connect 2 devices together the first option is wires which this button opens the wire configuration for you or you can press z, but anyhow to use these connect 2 devices together and select the options you want. The other option is channels which are in each device’s settings. Some devices will have an option like Run Wire Pulse Block will touch on that here in a moment.
So yeah that’s basically it for the add button lets move onto the next button.
The Eraser Button
You'll Find this button located in the top left it's the button that looks like an eraser, or you can press q there's an eraser mode button below I have all the options for those.Everything
This allows you to erase anything and everything in your gimkit game.
Terrain
This one will allow you to erase only the terrain we talked about earlier this is good for if you have devices or wires in the way. You can also change the size of it when selecting the terrain option. As well as select the layer of terrain you want to delete.

Wires
This allows you to only erase the wires inside of your game.
The Layers Button
The layers button is very unique as it allows you to layer your devices and props. There are 3 layers Above, Primary, and Below
Above
This layer is above players which means that if a player walks into it with a collision off on the prop they will go beneath it. This is useful for creating objects that players can hide under.
Primary
This one will go Above or Below the player depending on their position. This is the default one for most interactive devices like buttons, triggers, and more.
Below
This layer is below the player which means that if a player walks into it with a collision off on the prop they will be above it. This is useful for creating objects that you want player to not be able to go under it and hide.
