First thing we're going to do, is we're going to change the initial object type on everything so everything behaves the way we want it to. And this initial object type is active object, which is good, that's what we want. Now we're going to go over to the training room collision and what we want to do with this is we want to change this to create static objects because what a static object is, it's going to be something that doesn't actually get affected by, for example, gravity. So, this isn't going to fall down, but it will still act as a collider for objects falling on it. So, that'll work for our floor, that's good. And now, for our frame, we want to do the same thing because we want these hexagonal tiles…
