Condo IO: Phase 2 - Adding Interactivity To Condos
This update includes phase 2 of the Condo IO feature set.
- Variable support is here! You can now set variables (where applicable) to items. For example, with a button, you can set the color of a light, or set the canvas URL of an existing canvas within IO events.
- ex. Button → Set URL on Canvas
- ex. Button → Set Color on Light
- ex. Button → Set Time on Timer
- New Modules
- Toggle Module
- A logic item that calls two separate outputs that get toggled between when activated. Useful for toggling multiple things on/off. Will call Off on load. This is a boolean
- Counter Module
- A counter that counts a number then fires off when its max or min is reached. Can be reset to restart the count. Counter can optionally save its value persistently. You can Add, Subtract, and even Multiply and Divide the counter
- Timer Module
- A timer that keeps track of time passed. Can be adjusted to loop, select random times between min/max, pause/unpause
- Toggle Module
- You can now drag and drop connections into other events
- Added copy/paste to clipboard buttons for connections
- Added tons of new IO Events to existing items (list in changelog below)

Condo: Box Select
In this update we've added a much needed feature for condo owners: Box Select. Box Select allows creators to select multiple items at once by dragging and dropping a box shape over the items. Box Select can be activated by holding the inventory button (default Q) and clicking and dragging to create a box, just like you would in other applications.
Condo: Color Palettes
You can now create up to 3 unique color palettes when creating your condos and these palettes save so when you switch condos or restart your game, you'll still be able to keep your favorites.
Changes
- Little Crusaders: Cardboard Castle
- Condo IO: Phase 2
- Condo: Box Select! Select multiple items quickly using box select. While holding Q, click and drag to create a box. Box select will select only items that are not locked. You can adjust box select settings in the inventory settings.
