Notes

Some say "three is the magic number", and if that's the case, this is our most magical release yet, being Construct 3 r333. This release includes a fun new Rally drifting example, demonstrating scripting with 3D features. We've also updated some icons including the Custom Action icon and overlays (thanks to input from our designer Paulo), and also tweaked the family icons while we were at it.

There's also few improvements for using scripting, and as ever, a big batch of bug fixes. We're continuing to work towards a stable release in the next couple of weeks so we will continue to focus mainly on bug fixes until then.

Let us know with a thumbs up!

  • Thanks for the bugfixes

    There are 2 issues with how the Custom Actions are displayed:

    ISSUE 1 : The new "overlay icons" are broken for non-family Custom Actions. Example: if I call a "SpriteAction" custom action of a sprite, it only displays the little Lego icon at the bottom right, but it doesn't display the Sprite icon that should be behind. It only works for Families.

    ISSUE 2 : The way actions related to Custom Actions are displayed is inconsistent with everything else in the engine. For example if i have a "call Function" action, or a "set MyVariable to 1" action, "Function" and "MyVariable" are displayed in bold. However "MyCustomAction" is not displayed in bold if I call its related action.

    I also posted a suggestion about how Functions and Custom Actions could have a new "Emit Signal" boolean so we could use them as Better Signal, supporting parameters and same UX/Performance benefits as Functions: construct23.ideas.aha.io/ideas/C23-I-165
