For me text always has some anti aliasing with nearest sampling. But it does work correctly for the icons.

new SDK.PluginProperty("object", "Target", "value", {"interpolatable":false, "allowedPluginIds" : ["sprite"]}),

I did a quick test and with this I can see the property but add any type of plugin, so to me it seems like it's broken. (or I am using it wrong?)

I guess we need to report is as a bug

You can change the z-elevation via js as a workaround for now.

runtime.objects.DrawingCanvas.getFirstInstance().zElevation = z;

I just wrote a bug report for the drawing objects with missing z-elevation (something similar came up just a day or two ago with the Video object on the Community Discord)

Automatically following the addon when you download it would notify when an addon was updated that they are using. Often people use an old version for a long time as pressing the follow button is easily missed.

This would be in line with how you auto follow threads if you interact with them.

Yes, doing a pick by evalue doing all the checks in condition using operators (Object.var=? | Object.var2=? | Object.var3=?| Object.var4=?)can be faster as the loop through the instances is only done once.

But it only matters in extreme cases and can hurt readability imo.

But yes I have used this optimization in my projects!

New Effect: Directional Blur

https://www.construct.net/en/make-games/addons/1149/directional-blur

Allows you to set the blur angle and tweak the blurs strength and quality (supports webGL and webGPU as always)

Additionally I ported the RGBA Channel Separation shader to webGPU and also was able to improve performance of the webGL variant.

https://www.construct.net/en/make-games/addons/1127/rgba-channel-separation-webgpu Original Effect was created by Oppenheimer and Ludonaut.

Also I updated the following shaders to improve performance and fix some minor stuff:
- Box Blur Horizontal/vertical
- Kawase Blur
- Add Color
- Tint Blend

Thank you Ashley, while other algorithms are interesting this is probably the most pragmatic solution. I hope we get access to the collision cells via scripting and addon sdk too at some point!

Btw the dropbox link doesn't work for me and I remember other people having the same issue with dropbox links on the forum recently.

if the hierarchy children have width height checked, mirroring the parent should work with the children

A problem with making built-in quadtrees is Construct's collision engine needs to extend over an unlimited area (e.g. still handling activity outside the layout area, or with unbounded scrolling). Collision cells can do that with sparse cells. I'm not sure quadtrees can handle that.

Isn't this the main benefit of a tree structure, that sparse areas can just be one large node/cell and it only sub-divides where many instances are?
