 Whether you are starting a new level or adding support for an existing map making it game ready is pretty simple. All that is required are **weapon placements** and **spawnpoints**. The rest of the entities are optional ([[Doors and Elevators]]).
+========Targeting the game in your addon project========
+To have access to the gameobjects TTT uses and to test out your game locally in TTT, you need to target the game.
+To do this click the cog wheel on the top right of your main editor window.
+{{::jr07671.png?nolink&400|}}
+In the popup you will see a section for **Target Game**. Click it and seach for TTT and select it. Your settings should show the game like below:
+{{::4mn82s0.png?nolink&400|}}
+It will ask you to restart. When the editor reopens you will be able to create the TTT gameobjects in hammer.
+========Creating gameobjects in hammer=========
+To create a gameobject in hammer you simply click the + icon in the outliner and create an empty. You then add the components onto the gameobject like in scene.
+{{::5pk5rqz.png?nolink&400|}}
+========Playing your map locally in editor========
+To play your map locally simply create a blank scene and add a map instance component. Compile your map then click the empty box next to 'Map' on the component and search or navigate to your vmap file. You will need to compile your map to update it in scene.
+{{::1qvj5hh.png?nolink&400|}}
+From here to play your map simply play the scene.
+**VERY IMPORTANT**: You must make sure 'Load in engine after building' in the hammer compile menu is unchecked or it will boot the the TTT menu in editor when the compile completes.

+Please reach out to us on our discord if you want to have your map added to our roster- we currently manually whitelist maps, so targeting the project alone will not automatically make it available.
