Highlights for Version 1.0.187

Hello friends and welcome to our first patch after the Epic Games Store release! You will notice a difference in the naming format for patch notes as well, since we no longer are in "Open Alpha", we're going to use the version number of the patch instead.

For Creators, beginning with this patch, projects will have an additional scenes folder: Scenes/Main on the file system. This is in preparation for the Scenes feature which will come in the future, but should have no meaningful effect on existing projects and you won't see it in the Core hierarchy. For creators using source control, there will be a migration of files to this folder but the source control should handle this gracefully. Make sure to commit this change to your project first before making any other changes to keep the history clean.

When it comes out later this year, Scenes will enable you to have more levels and sub-games inside of your main project instead of having to use child-games. There's a lot of work yet to be done before Scenes releases, but we will keep y'all updated as it approaches!

Platform

  • New: Added a shortcut to "Show Project in Explorer" on project options in Create Tab.
  • New: You can now select multiple templated instances and reset them back to the template. Note that this does not work with deinstanced objects.
  • New: UIButtons now have "Horizontal" and "Vertical" justification, existing buttons will default to Center for horizontal and vertical.
  • New: The following Object Types were added to the hierarchy filters in the Creator:
    • /animatedMesh
    • /physics
    • /postProcess
    • /skeleton
    • /sky
    • /smartObject
  • New: Merged objects render up to 2x faster! :zap:
  • New Player Ability Animations:
    • "1hand_pistol_left_hand_toss"
    • "2hand_rifle_left_hand_toss"
  • New: Added a "Bounds Scale" parameter on Static Meshes to allow some control over distance LoD, Culling and Lighting behavior. (Added May 6th)
  • New: Added a "Spawn Key" string property to Spawn Points. (Added May 6th)
    • This gives creators the ability to tag spawn points for different uses. A creator might want to spawn a character at a spawner tagged with "forest" or "city". Currently this is only tied to the API addition to player:Respawn() below, but more is coming soon!
    • This also comes with a new API addition. See below.
  • Changed: Trigger volumes, Post Process volumes, Spawn Point volumes and VFX volumes now only display when selected, you can change this behavior via the new "Editor Indicator Visibility" dropdown. (Added May 6th)
  • Changed: The default mount speed is now 1280 instead of 960.
  • Changed: For CoreObjects directly attached to players, if the collision setting is set to "Inherit From Parent", it will inherit from player's collision (isCollidable property).
  • Changed: Updated the double click selection behavior in the script editor to be more consistent with other editors.
  • Changed: The "My Collection" tab has been renamed to "Character" and you can now update your profile icon directly from it.
  • Changed: In the Character UI, the color picker is now shown by default when customizing and colors are available.
  • Changed: The font thumbnails show watermarks for UIText and WorldText use.
  • Fixed: UIText vertical justification now works with "Inherit Parent Height" and "Add Self Size to Parent".
  • Fixed: Translations for parented decals now behave as intended.
  • Fixed: The keyword entry for publishing templates will be preserved during screenshots.
  • Fixed: "Toggle Maximized Viewport" (F11) now works when the window is not focused.
  • Fixed a crash when closing the editor with the script debugger open in preview mode.
  • Fixed an issue where you can type a lot of characters into the "min players required" field on the game publish dialog, which can cause the editor to hang.
  • Fixed an issue where a game could not be published as a child of an unlisted game.
  • Fixed an issue where the "Summary" and "Release Notes" text fields were too small when publishing a game.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause unread chat messages to be incorrectly marked as read.
  • Fixed a bug where the overridden shape on a templated trigger would be reverted upon entering preview/play mode.

Known Issues

  • There is currently an issue where dynamically spawned UI elements can get the wrong sort order on refresh. (Added May 6th)
  • There is currently issue with the new "Bounds Scale" property where it is incorrectly clamping it to 0.1 instead of 1 in certain cases. This can cause objects to appear to "flicker". As a workaround you can manually set the value to 1. (Added May 6th)
  • Footstep SFX are played when using animation stances that are not walking or running animations. (Added May 7th)
  • We introduced a change to interaction triggers that had unintended consequences. Instead of triggering off the "Released" key event, they now work off of the "Pressed" event. (Added May 7th)
    • We have identified a fix, but unfortunately it's not something we can simply deliver as a hotfix. We expect it to go live with the next patch on May 18. In the meantime, adding Task.Wait() as the first line of the trigger.interactedEvent handler will likely fix this for now.

API

  • New: Added Lua functions Player:GetJoinTransferData() and Player:GetLeaveTransferData(), which return information indicating how a player joined or left a game along with the ID of their previous or next game. Check them out their page on the Core Documentation.
    • Players may opt out of making this information available by selecting "Hide My Gameplay Activity" or "Appear Offline" in the social panel settings.
  • New: Added a Player.isCollidable property.
  • New: SpawnAsset() can now support Script and UITexture assets.
  • New: Added descriptions to Lua API export file.
  • New: Added a new spawnKey optional parameter to player:Respawn(). (Added May 6th)
  • Changed: player:IsValid() now returns false when accessing certain fields would trigger a "Character data is unavailable" error.
  • Changed: player:IsA("Player") now returns false when character data is unavailable.
  • Changed: Improved error messaging for certain Player fields that are only available for the local player.
  • Fixed: Color.New() with no arguments now returns 0,0,0,0 as expected.
  • Fixed a crash when calling Game.StopAcceptingPlayers() during server shutdown.
