We're introducing a new system called Hooks. Similar to events, these will enable Creators to Connect() to them to handle sending and receiving data.
Our first Hook is the Player.movementHook that let's Creators control the player's current movement direction.
To learn more about them, check out our, newly redesigned, documentation.
Platform
New: We've updated all colors in the UI, in particular the editor has a darker look overall.
Many colors will be slightly different but more consistent overall.
New: You should now be able to invite a friend to your game if you are both playing the same game but are in different instances.
If you are in a child game that does not allow direct join, you can still invite your friend and they will be redirected to the parent game.
New: Added a "Cancel" option when changing the parent of a game in the publisher.
Changed: Invitations to join a game will now show a "Join" or "Play" button instead of a single accept checkmark.
Changed: Reduced the number of file read/write actions on publish to minimise impact of antivirus software interfering with Core.
Changed: Perk NetReferences no longer gets cleared when opening a project originally created by another creator, to better support working together on the same project.
Changed: All text files are now saved without the UTF8 BOM.
Fixed: A bug which caused the checkbox for read-only booleans in the property view to be a weird shade of gray.
Fixed: A bug where clicking a category link under Quests would show 'Browse' as the filter dropdown instead of the correct category.
Fixed: An issue where copying the custom parameters of an object did not copy their network state.
Fixed: A bug that caused sound effects in the frontend to ignore the player's volume settings.
Fixed: A bug where player hit points would appear to be 100 after joining a game.
Fixed: A crash caused by pressing the preview key = in quick succession on large maps.
Fixed: If the list of available games fails to load on the home screen, the client will now retry fetching them.
Fixed: Duplicate tags on some properties in the Lua API export.
Fixed: Projectiles no longer impact client-only objects, unless the projectiles were also spawned from a client script.
Fixed: A crash when inspecting a PointLight or SpotLight in the script debugger.
Fixed: Chandler is happy now. Why wasn't Chandler happy before, you ask? It's a longer story about a crash, a wrongly enabled ensure and Linux. One day we are going to be able to tell it...
Known Issues
The tab character in the script editor is no longer taking up four spaces, we'll fix that in a future patch.
API
New: Added a new function GetPerkTimeRemaining(), which returns the amount of time remaining until a limited time Perk expires.
New: Added new Hook and HookListener objects.
New: Added a new Hook: Player.movementHook:
Passes a table containing a key direction with the player's current movement direction.
Changing this key will change the direction that the player moves, and other listeners will receive the updated table.
Hook:Connect(Function) returns a HookListener which has a priority property (an integer) which determines the order that listeners are called in. It is 100 by default.
I have tried the hook movement and it seems to only work on the player plane. I would like to control the movement on the z access for flying and jumping . i.e I want the player to jump to a specific position.
