Notes

This release includes some new 'any' trigger variants for the File System, Cryptography and NW.js plugins. For example there is a new On any file operation complete trigger in the File System plugin, with a FileTag expression to get the tag of the file operation that completed. This helps simplify managing parallel operations with these plugins, which can also help speed up your projects.

There are also some usability improvements, particularly around the data editors. New columns and rows in the Array Editor now default to using an existing column/row size rather than the default, avoiding the need to resize it afterwards. There's also a fix to help avoid right-clicks accidentally resizing columns/rows when the intent is to use the context menu.

Other than that there's a batch of bug fixes, including a few issues with using folder projects, and some timeline issues that have been sorted out. Happy testing!

  • This turned my array files into JSON files??

    • they always WERE json files. Construct just reorganizes them to LOOK like tables. When you debug and look at any of your arrays, it looks more like what you're seeing now in the new release.

      However, of course, having been building my/our game(s) using arrays as they WERE... this change cannot stand. i'm stickling to 353 until this gets ironed out. which i'm sure it will.

      • I'm aware that arrays are in json data, that's how I load information from the array file into the array object. My issue is that opening my array files gives me json information instead of a table, which is an eyesore and difficult to work with

  • Thank you for another great update!

    Unfortunately, Array editor crashes when changing array's width or height. I have filled a bug report:
