Notes

After a short and well-earned break, we're back with a new beta release! The main updates in this release are improvements for tilemap brushes, including undo support in the tilemap brush editor, auto-tiling support for families, and the ability to use brushes by name. There are some timeline improvements too providing easier ways to switch between width/height and scale property tracks. The Slider Bar object also has a new On changing trigger (and "input" script event) that fire while the slider value is changing, instead of only when it stops changing.

Other improvements include some new scripting examples, updates to allow detecting button press/release for any gamepad, and as ever a batch of bug fixes. Happy testing!

Let us know with a thumbs up!

  • Thanks for Undo! 🤩

  • Thanks for autotile New Additions, next more for 3D please

  • Okay now slider become more dynamic, giving a way for efficient event sheeting.

  • First, one to comment, very encouraging to see Construct 3 team non stop making improvements upon improvements

  • Nice !

    Regarding Conditions/Actions allowing us to reference something by its name (to allow us to create more dynamic systems), the 2 most annoying stuff that are missing in my daily use of the engine are :

    1. [Tween Behavior] Set Tween Ease by String :

    Replace the Ease dropdown list parameter of the Start Tween actions events by a string field, (With autocompletion with all built-in and custom Tweens), instead of the Dropdown List.

    2. [System] Check if a Template Name exist for an Object Type Name :

    Add a new condition to allow to check if a Template Name string exists for an Object Type Name string.

    The Existing "Template Exists" condition requires us to select a specific Object, but it would be useful for a lot of systems to also be able to do that by Object Type Name.

  • Any chance to push as many little suggestions as possible from the dedicated suggestion platform before it get rebooted again in 2023 ?

    Would be a great christmas gift to the community 🎅
