3D model plugin; Dynamic sampling; Bug fixes.
Hey, what's up with the "TypeScript mode" for scripting (in latest stable version)? If you use it, C3 will still only load JS files from the folder. If you manually import TS files, they will be actually added, but will be invisible until you restart the project. If you try to switch back to "JS Mode", C3 crashes most of the time. Imports also stop working (because they expect .js imports or something iirc)
I feel like you started to work on this feature, but abandoned it half way yet still left it in. It's been months, and I don't think it got any fixes at all. I only write code in TS and was really happy to see this feature release.. but to this day I just can't use it because it's just unfinished and therefore mostly useless. Like.. what even happened? Or am Im missing something?
I remember you from a TypeScript forum thread back in the day. TypeScript is supported natively now. If you have an old project, you might have to re-configure a few things... but it's for the best.
You can still have a JS project and handle TypeScript compilation on your own. But using Construct's built-in TypeScript support might be more convenient.
I use C3 almost every day, with TypeScript too, and I follow the updates, so yeah, I know how it works
I guess the implementation of TS mode in C3 just doesn't make sense to me as an external editor use, thats why I was confused, so nevermind.
But there's still for sure a few free bug reports to fill out, the thing is pretty unstable
The workflows Construct uses for .ts files are described in TypeScript in Construct in the manual - for example it's by design that if you use an external editor, Construct will only import .js files, as the assumption is then you are using the external editor to compile TypeScript. If there's a crash or you otherwise don't think it's working correctly, please file an issue. I'd also point out we recently did quite a significant update in the past release cycle which brought the Monaco editor and TypeScript version up-to-date.
Aside from crashes and weird behavior.. well yeah, I guess current TS mode doesn't make sense if you already use external editor to write TS (as do I), so thats why I was confused.
But still, it still does feel kinda unfinished and unstable, so I guess I will need to check the latest beta to see if something is fixed and file a bug reports when I have time. Thanks for the answer!
