Hi everyone! Platform Builder 8.2 is released and ready to go!We have custom enemy physics which is a pretty cool new feature for custom enemies. I also did a number of changes with the command prompt to make it work better for you. For instance...
First: Decimal points and negative values can now be used for certain things. For instance, you could say "score += -3.5" This would subtract 3.5 from the score.
Second: bracketing is no longer necessary except for when displaying stuff in messages. For instance, you could say "score += health"
Third: Custom variables don't need to be identified by their type every time, but only the first time. For instance, you could say...
var myVariable = 2
health + myVariable
//adds 2 to the healthThese changes are pretty significant changes to the structure of how commands work. I'll keep a closer eye on bug reports of these forums to put out any patches if necessary. Hopefully our jump into these new features will be a smooth one for all of us.
Check out the changes in the
update log, and compare with the updated
command prompt page if it helps.
Enjoy using Platform Builder 8.2!
