What's new in 5.6.269
💡 New 3D Spot Light and Point Light objects 3D lights can now be used with the new "3D spot light" and "3D point light" objects! You can find them in the "New Object" dialog. Check out the documentation here. Light objects can be demanding on the GPU, especially when they cast shadows. To allow to add many lights to a scene, the engine automatically hides the lights farthest from the camera. By default, the limits are 20 visible light objects and 4 light objects casting shadows (the closest to the camera). Read more in the documentation. 💝 Improvements - Reworked events sheet design (thanks @LuniMoon!): - Colors adjusted to match accessibility standards, - Refined borders around conditions/actions - Handles of comments/groups are colored as the event itself, - Spacing, borders and other tweaks. - Fix default variable string value being "0" instead of empty: - Before, variable were set to the string "0" even though displaying as empty in the list of variables. - Projects created before 5.6.267 will keep the same behavior (0 as default value for string variables) with an option to upgrade to the new behavior in the project properties dialog. This allows previous projects to keep backward compatibility and not break. It's recommended to activate this option and check that your game continues to work as soon as you can (keep a backup in case you want to upgrade later). - Projects created from 5.6.267 will use the new default behavior (empty as default value). - Improve 2D lights collision calculation for better performance. - Add expressions to access the components of forward/...
