💝 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 the behavior to keep rotation around X and Y intact
• Fix parameters list not updating when the function configuration was changed
• Fix a crash when opening a project missing a custom object that was loaded in the previously opened project
• Fix issue where cubes were not showing when they have all their faces shown with no textures
• Fix variable list usability

  • When opening the variables editor from a variable field, the currently selected variable is selected in the list (even if child of a variable)
• 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
