News Patch Notes
1

New Features

  • Block indent was added to the script editor.
  • Added advanced grenade and update advanced weapon reload binding.
  • Added a new "View" -> "Reset Layout" menu item for using default tab layout for editor.
  • Added a Publish Template button to Project Content.
  • The events Event:Connect(), Events.Connect(), and Events.ConnectForPlayer now accept any number of additional arguments after the listener function. When that listener is called, those additional arguments will be provided after the event's own parameters.

Example:

local function OnHandleOverlap(trigger, other, extraArg)
    print(extraArg)
end
script.parent.beginOverlapEvent:Connect(OnHandleOverlap, "Hello")
script.parent.endOverlapEvent:Connect(OnHandleOverlap, "World!")

Changes

  • Moving the mouse or using the keyboard now resets the autosave timer.
  • Player.isDead Lua property is now read-only.
  • Removed "Add Script" button from Project Content.
  • Abilities no longer have an option to toggle Flying mode.
  • New projects are now saved directly in the Maps folder, instead of in "Maps/username".
  • Edgeline materials now use Vector3 instead of Color for setting material velocity.
  • When spawning objects with X key, the Shift modifier is now interpreted as "use settings from Object Generator", which now takes "Spawn Upright" into account.

  • Explosion effect now properly makes use of color parameter.
  • Fixed a bug in the selection system that was sometimes making the "audio preview" button not show up after testing a map.

  • When previewing audio in the editor, adjusting settings will now update the sound in real time, rather than making it stop playing.
  • Fix "Character data unavailable" error when exiting preview mode.
  • UI tweaks for modals giving information about non-uniform scaling.
  • Window styling fixes for terrain generation/importing.
  • Limit possible request count when using UIImage:SetImage() in certain cases.

  • Script Editor: Fixed bug where autocomplete popup would lose its selected candidate.
  • Script Editor: Fix unnecessary save prompt triggered by UNIX or macOS line endings.
  • Fixed the height of the "More Options" menu (seen when pressing the three dots on a game tile on the "Create" tab).
  • Frontend "Games" button should take you to your game page, not the home page.
