Week 42 - Trigger Events and Reflections!
(July 11 - July 17, 2017)
Two things made it to the list this week. :) Trigger events and a reflection have been added to make things more fun. Details below!
First.
New -> Reflection Tile Type soon to be released.
The Reflection tile provides a water like effect especially designed for tiles (Image below).
Video example here: Tile Type Reflection.
Second.
New (Fixed) Features (videos)
Trigger Events are one of the hidden secrets (and still in progress) features of Build a Game. We are currently working through each tile, and making them 'event-able'. The videos (below) show off just a few cool things you can do with them. (Example 4 is simple and fun!)
Example 1: Trigger Event Basics
Example 2: Trigger Event States
Example 3: Trigger Event Multi-Effect
Example 4: Trigger Events Moving Things
Example 5: Trigger Event Scene Example
Third.
Bug Fixes!
Last week we had 24+ fixes on tiles. A few highlights are:
+ Door tile works correctly now with pads and levers (in all state options)
+ Subtile brushes scale correctly in Edit/Game modes so that Gui tiles are still clickable
+ Updated trigger events with audio, autotile, background, block, bomb, camera, gui, damage, base, and more.
This coming week, we'll continue to focus on trigger events in the rest of our tile types. Let us know if you run in to any issues with the trigger event system and/or tiles using it. Thank you!
Fourth.
