💝 Improvements
👥 Editor improvements
- Merge project manager & app burger menu buttons
- The goal of this change is to simplify the top left corner of the app, by merging the App burger menu and the Project manager button into one. Having 2 buttons was causing confusion in the flow of using the app, by mistakenly pressing the wrong button.
- The app menu buttons that are useful are now displayed at the top of the project manager drawer, on the relevant platforms: Web, Windows & mobile, because other platforms have a built-in OS menu.
- When choosing an object/group in an action/condition:
- Folders that are set in the objects list can now be used here to navigate, making the browsing experience consistent
- When searching for an action/condition, exact matches are displayed first, making the search more accurate
- When a preview is updated on the web-app, the correct window is automatically focused
- Improve subscription perks display when subscribing and all the subscription-related design
- Objects installed from the asset store are now installed in the selected folder, instead of the root of the scene
- Allow to toggle between drop-down list and expression for mouse button and key parameters
- Add Pixi and Three type definitions for JS events
- Extension editor improvements:
- Add autocompletion for keyboard key properties in the behavior editor
- Allow behavior properties to be an animation name, displayed with a selector
⚙️ Engine improvements
- Text input object improvements
- New attributes are available: padding (vertical and horizontal), max length and text alignment.
- A new condition "Input is submitted" was added to check if the user validated the value in the input.
- Allow to use parameters and properties in the variable action and condition
- Allow 3D physics characters to push each other
- Make the 2D and 3D physics engine much more performant when you have a lot of static objects, by reducing the CPU work on these
🐛 Bug fixes
- 3D physics character behavior
- Fix a 1-frame delay on the "is falling" condition
- Fix the "is falling" condition from being true when the character is going up

- Fix parameters list not updating when the function configuration was changed

- Fix correctly exporting desktop icon when project is saved in the cloud
- Fix opening windows in foreground on windows everywhere in app
- Fix: Disable panel sprite tilling by default, as it decreases the performance of the object without any advantage
