Races

The Races plugin lets you define character races with visual variants tied to different character entries.

Creating a Race Entry

Open the Spark Editor, go to Races and click Create New.

Each race entry defines:

Field	Description
Display Name	Race name shown in-game (e.g., "Human", "Elf", "Dwarf", "Orc").
Description	Race description text.
Icon	Sprite for the race in UI.
Race Characters	List of character variants available for this race. See below.

Race Characters

Each race can have multiple character variants. Each variant links to a character entry:

Field	Description
Display Name	Variant label (e.g., "Human Male", "Human Female", "Elf Tall", "Elf Short").
Icon	Sprite for this specific variant.
Character Entry	Reference to a Character entry that defines the character model and configuration for this variant.

This lets you offer visual diversity within a single race. For example, the "Human" race might have "Human Male" and "Human Female" variants, each pointing to a different character entry with its own model, animations, and customization options.

Use Cases

Races are commonly used during character creation to let the player choose their race and variant, which then determines the character entry used for their in-game avatar. Combined with the Character Customization plugin, races can offer further visual personalization within each variant.
