Release Assets:

✨ New features

  • Added support for zoom when editing hitboxes, points, previewing an animation or an image.

    • You can use the toolbar buttons or Ctrl (or Cmd on macOS) and the mousewheel to zoom.

  • Added "Save As" menu option (thanks @Bouh!)

  • Added mouse wheel support (thanks @Bouh!)

  • New editor to add and edit conditions and actions (still in beta, see below)

    • More intuitive object and action/condition selection. You can either select an object first, or browse the list of actions/conditions that are not related to specific objects.
    • After selecting an object, only the actions and conditions that can be used on this object will be shown.
    • This is especially useful for objects having a lot of (custom) behaviors.
    • Support for tags in objects, so that it's easy to find your objects in large games.
    • Search box allowing to search in objects and actions/conditions at the same time. Press Enter to validate the first choice.
    • "Responsive" UI: if GDevelop window is large enough, the display will show everything on the window. Otherwise, 2 or 1 column will be shown. Useful if you use GDevelop next to something else on the screen.
    • Improved search with icons in results and better matching in case of an exact result.

ℹ️ To activate this editor, go in in Preferences and select Use the new action/condition editor.
