  • when loading an existing map within the map editor, the editor's camera now automatically pans to the center of the newly loaded map.
  • the map editor now supports drawing exit areas directly onto the map for scenes with Free Movement and Exploration Mode.

  • the NewScene script action now has three new, optional parameters: Spawn Y, Spawn X, and Spawn Direction. For Free Movement maps, these affect where on the map the free mover spawns and what direction they'll be facing when they do.
  • the NewScene reply type now has the same new, optional parameters as the NewScene script action.
  • the Path and Patrol unit tags now function in Free Movement mode. Every 3 seconds, if the tagged character isn't already moving, they'll move to the next area in their sequence. These tags take precedence over Wander (if a character has both behaviors, they'll revert to using Wander after Path / Patrol is removed).
  • new sound effect added: Sword Draw.
  • new unit property added: lootedSound. Defines the sound they make when they're looted (currently, by way of the Chest and Chest Locked triggers).

  • fixed some issues with bridge placement over hazard tiles in the map editor.
  • bridges placed over hazard tiles in the map editor are now automatically placed not just 1 level above the hazard, but at the elevation of the lowest adjacent tile that is above the hazard. (So if, for example, a tile of water is flanked by two other water tiles and two cliffs at elevation 4, placing a bridge there will place it at elevation 4, even with the cliffs.) Only if there are no adjacent tiles above the hazard will the bridge placement default to 1 elevation above the hazard.
  • bridges placed in the map editor are now automatically generated with an appropriate Elev tag.

#1098
  • streamlined the actions bar UI a bit. The terrain inspector button has now been moved the the main options menu, as it's really not something players will be using most of the time during play. Meanwhile, the Open/Close Door button has been absorbed into the Use button, as it really only needed to be a separate button for an extremely rare (and in the main campaign, wholly unused) scenario where a door had a separate Use trigger on it that did something other than simply opening or closing the door.
  • added a new, dedicated Inventory button to the Actions Menu that, when clicked, opens a small sub-window containing the selected character's inventory, allowing you to use/drop/give items without opening up the entire character screen.
  • new trigger type specific to free movement mode: Contact. Runs a script when the player makes physical contact with the tagged unit. (Note that this only works for characters and impassable objects--for objects the character can freely walk onto like fire, traps, or rugs, the correct trigger to use is still Pressure.)
  • fixed: in the dialogue and script editor, swapping the positions of actions within a script could produce a range error if either action lacked parameters.
  • fixed: localization for actions bar buttons was not working as intended.
  • fixed: it wasn't possible to add triggers to a proc gen character.
