Ability to include things to edittime

I can't believe you still don't have this possibility since 2012

• What if I have a lot of diffirent aces, and I would like to split them to keep them in different files?
• What if I have a huge drawing system that I want to keep in a separate file?
• What if I have the same chunk of code that I want to use in 5 different plugins?

I realize that edittime works in a pure V8 context, but there are pure V8 libs, like Node.js, that allow to use require.

I was hoping it's gonna work in Construct, tried to separate the drawing stuff, wrote this:

var draw = require('./drawEdit');
draw.draw();[/code:2hql0u53]But it wouldn't work.

Any thoughts about it?

Yeah, it kind of sucks. There's really not a lot you can do from the edittime script though, other than specify actions, conditions, expressions, properties, and a pretty limited (and different to the runtime again ) rendering API. It should be significantly overhauled in Construct 3.

It is a good news!
