Notes

We're keen to make sure there's a smooth workflow while using TypeScript in Construct. So in this release we've made some updates to how folder projects work. In particular reloading from the folder now also adds and removes items to match what's on disk, which helps ensure things like externally created script files get added.

There's also a new 'Offline support' checkbox for web-based exporters. This allows you to opt-out of adding the Service Worker that handles offline caching. While we recommend it's left on for publishing, it can be useful to turn off during development to avoid the offline cache getting in the way of updates.

Other than that we have various updates for TypeScript and JavaScript coding, and a few other bug fixes and tweaks. Happy testing!

Let us know with a thumbs up!

  • Thank you for reverting back to what C2 did of opening a project anyway even if certain files were missing.

  • I'm amazed at how many new features are coming to the engine.

    Fantastic

  • Awesome! I used to do quite a dirty (but easy-to-automate) trick to disable offline mode (emptying the contents of sw.js) for some HTML5 exports, now I can do away with that :)

  • the folder update with the offline options are great features!! it will make working with teams and big projects a lot easier.

  • Wow, this team is churning out updates like crazy! I'm so grateful for their hard work and dedication.

  • TS is great :)

    but also can you fix some bugs:

    - Typing for IRuntime["sortZOrder"], callback must return number not boolean;

    - Typing for ConstructEventTarget, first you need mapping which event fit to which argument

    type in callback, like it's work with default addEventListener in js, document.addEventListener("click", (e: MouseEvent) => {}), cause for now I have an error for example when listen pointerDown

    runtime.addEventListener("pointerdown", (e: PointerEvent) => {}) PointerEvent is not ConstructEvent;

    - Externally created files appears in project only if they are created in "scripts" subfolders which created via Construct, so you need to add "scripts" subfolder in Construct and then any added scripts in this folder in external IDE appears in Construct after update or preview with enable auto update;

    And again - Typescript is great, it's very nice you moving in this direction, thank you guys!

      Please report any problems to the issue tracker as things only mentioned in comments are easily lost and forgotten.

  • I talked about problems while working with files in the comments under last update, a now it's already there.. it's so nice to see this! It is a really cool and powerful direction, I really want to see at full shine

  • What typescript?! Make tools to work with the user interface! All engines have, but we have html objects...
