A new property is added to the Doodad struct: Hitbox (Rect).
The uix.Actor for Play Mode will defer to the Doodad.Hitbox until the
JavaScript has manually set its own via Self.SetHitbox(). So in effect,
scripts no longer need to worry about their hitbox! The one assigned to
the Doodad will be the default.
Scripts can check if their hitbox is zero before setting a default:
if (Self.Hitbox().IsZero()) {
var size = Self.Size() // get doodad canvas size
Self.SetHitbox(0, 0, size, size) // the full square
}
The built-in generic doodad scripts have made this change, so that your
simple doodad can have a custom hitbox defined easily using in-game
tools.
Other changes:
* New script: Generic Collectible Item. Selecting it will add a
"quantity" tag to your doodad, to easily configure the script.
* JavaScript API: "Self.Hitbox()" returns your doodad's current hitbox.
You can check "Self.Hitbox.IsZero()" to check if it's empty.
* The `doodad edit-doodad` command now allows setting custom key/value
tags in doodad files, for extra data storage useful to their scripts.
* Colored keys and doors now store a `color` tag with the appropriate
color so that their scripts don't have to parse their Title to find
that information.
* Trapdoors now store a `direction` tag to hold the direction the door
is facing.
* The `doodad` CLI tool got a lot of new commands:
* `doodad show` to verbosely print details about Levels and Doodads.
* `edit-level` and `edit-doodad` to update details about Levels and
Doodads, such as their Title, Author, page type and size, etc.
* Doodads gain a `Hidden bool` that hides them from the palette in
Editor Mode. The player character (Blue Azulian) is Hidden.
* Add some boolProps to the balance/ package and made a dynamic system
to easily configure these with the in-game dev console.
* Command: `boolProp list` returns available balance.boolProps
* `boolProp <name>` returns the current value.
* `boolProp <name> <true or false>` sets the value.
* The new boolProps are:
* showAllDoodads: enable Hidden doodads on the palette UI (NOTE:
reload the editor to take effect)
* writeLockOverride: edit files that are write locked anyway
* prettyJSON: pretty-format the JSON files saved by the game.
* Implement the handler code for `return false` when actors are
colliding with each other and wish to act like solid walls.
* The locked doors will `return false` when they're closed and the
colliding actor does not have the matching key.
* Add arbitrary key/value storage to Actors. The colored keys will set
an actor value "key:%TITLE%" on the one who touched the key before
destroying itself. The colored doors check that key when touched to
decide whether to open.
* The trapdoor now only opens if you're touching it from the top (your
overlap box Y value is 0), but if you touch it from below and the door
is closed, it acts like a solid object.
