New
- GUI Layouts
‘GUI Layouts’ sub-section available in ‘Menus’ section. GUI layouts can be used to place GUI boxes (e.g. in HUDs) on a defined layout, ignoring the position and anchor of the GUI boxes. GUI layouts can als be used to align content from different sources (e.g. different HUDs). - Input Keys: Input Key: ‘Negate Input’ setting available for added input keys. Optionally negate the checked input when considering if an input happened for the combined input of all keys. E.g. use this to allow input if ‘Shift’ isn’t held instead of held down.
- Game Settings: Asset Settings
‘Default Load Type’ setting available. Define how asset bundles will be loaded, either using ‘Load From File’ (default) or ‘Load From Memory’. Assets overriding the asset bundle path will also define a different load type. - Menu Settings
‘Focus Left Click’, ‘Focus Middle Click’ and ‘Focus Right Click’ settings available. Defines if left/middle/right mouse button clicks can be used to change focus to a GUI box. Using the left mouse button is by default enabled. - HUDs
‘GUI Layout’ settings available. Optionally use a GUI layout to place the HUD’s GUI box. - HUDs
‘Click To Foreground’ setting available. Optionally bring a HUD’s GUI box to the foreground of its GUI layer when clicking on it. If the currently focused GUI box is on the same layer it’ll still be in front of the HUD. - Schematics: Actors
‘Selected Data’ actor type available. Optionally use game objects stored in selected data as an actor. The game object is selected whenever the actor is used in a node, i.e. changing the selected data will also change the actor for the following nodes. - Schematics: Change Scene Object
