Highlights for Version 1.0.176
- Added the ability for creators to lock individual instances of their games! When an instance is locked, it means it will no longer accept new players. We've also added the ability to transfer all players in an instance to a new instance. These commands should help make it easier to implement certain types of round-based games. See the API section for details.
Platform
- New: The "My Collections" now has a global random and edit button.
- "Edit" will edit the character or preset you have selected.
- "Random" will put you into customize with a random character created.
- Saving will now ask you which slot you want to save to. If you are editing a character then it will highlight the slot you are editing.
- New: The "Perk Testing" dialog now displays each player's Perks separately, and displays the counts for Repeatable Perks:
- In preview mode, Perk counts now persist between test sessions.
- Added buttons to the "Perk Testing" dialog to reset preview players' Perks and persistent storage.
- New: Updated Lua from 5.3.4 to 5.3.6. No changes by Creators needed.
- New: Multiple selected assets can now be dragged into the viewport for creation.
- Changed: Fly-up text & damage indicators will now draw BEHIND creator UI.
- Changed: Creating a new template now scrolls to / focuses the template in the "Project Content" tab, if the tab is open, similar to how creating a new script works.
- Changed: Dropdowns are options now blue when unselected, and white when selected. (used to be the opposite)
- Fixed: Titles of inactive tabs in "Create" mode are now easier to read.
- Fixed: A bug where tab spacing was too small in the script editor.
- Fixed: A memory leak in the script error handling.
- Fixed: The "Find in Catalog" now opens the corresponding tab if the tab is closed. This fixes a bug where "Find in Catalog" failed to work on newly created templates.
API
- New: Added server locking functionality. You can lock a server with
Game.StopAcceptingPlayers(), and check if a server is locked withGame.IsAcceptingPlayers(). - New: Added a
Game.TransferAllPlayersToGame()function. - New: Added a
Ability:AdvancePhase()function that moves the phase forward by one. - Changed:
Ability:Activate()andAbility:Interrupt()to be callable on owner client or server. - Changed:
Player.movementHookis now client-only.- POTENTIAL GAME EFFECTS: This will cause script errors in any game with a server-side movement hook.
- Previously, a server-side movement hook would have no effect (as it was never intended to work on the server). This change was made to avoid confusion and make it clear where movement hooks will properly function.
