Thanks to existing and new contributors that have been working on this release, and are still working on new fixes and improvements for next versions! 🙌

✨ New features

  • Right click on Add Action or Add condition to show a popup allowing to quickly choose the object and the action or condition to add 🚤.
    • Empty parameters are now more visible in the Events Sheet, making obvious which ones must be completed.
    • This will make the workflow of experienced users faster.
    • Thanks @blurymind for this addition!

add-action-popup

  • Extensions made with events can now have events run at specific moment during the game (they are called "lifecycle" functions 🔁):
    • Can be at the beginning of the game, at the scene loading/unloading, pause/resume or every frame before or after the events.
    • This is an advanced feature that should only be useful for extension adding new capabilities using JavaScript.
