Notes

This release improves search results for array/dictionary files. Previously results only showed the match in the source JSON file. Now the Find Results bar will show which key/value or array cell a match was found in, and double-clicking the result will open the Data Editor and highlight the relevant cell. This should help a lot when searching in large dictionaries or arrays in your project.

We've also added a new fast forward action for the Particles object. Normally particles start empty and sometimes can take a few seconds to reach full flow. Now you can fast-forward the particle effect on startup or creation, for example to skip ahead by 3 seconds. That means all the particles will be in full flow immediately, avoiding a brief moment as particle effects get going.

There's also a new tic-tac-toe example which demonstrates a hybrid approach of mixing event sheets and JavaScript coding. We've also been working hard on bug fixes and have tracked down an impressive 31 fixes for this release alone - and doubtless there will be many more! It's all part of our on-going work to make sure Construct is reliable and robust as possible.

    Thank you for improvements to the particle system!!! Particles have needed some love for a while and this is a step in the right direction.

  • Great addition with the preprocessed particles

  • "Particles: 'fast forward' action" Thanks for this!

  • This is a bugfixing feast! Thank you Scirra!

  • Great additions, thanks for adding suggestions from the platform !

    It looks like Instance Selection in Layout View is broken in this release : on my Game Layout, when I try to select an instance, it instead selects an object from a totally different layout (even if all my layers are locked in my current Layout). I'm not even sure if it has to do with Global Layers. This is very weird, because in Properties the Layer Field of those "Ghost instances" shows a non-global layer from a different Layout. And when i go to this layout, there isn't any instance of those "Ghost objectype" on that specific layer. (They seem to be actually be on that other Layout but on an other Layer)

    It seems it only happen on my most complex Layout with many layers and Global layers.

    So far i don't manage to even understand what's happening so please if anyone also has the issue let us know so we can fill a bug report.

      I think there was a regression in this release from trying to fix another issue. It should be fixed for the next beta. Still, it would be worth trying to reproduce it.

      • I have the same problem. For example, I have 5 layers, 2 global layers. All layers are locked and hidden, when I click on an empty field, an object located on one of the layers starts to manipulate the cursor (for example, dragged behind the cursor or stand out). I'm really looking forward to the update, because I can't work.

        How can I change the project to an older stable version?

      • thank you for doing a fix, even though there wasn't a proper report!

  • Wow I ever wondered if I could find where a value stored in array index. Now this thing gives an ease for sure.

  • Thanks for great update!

  • Thanks a lot for the fast forward action, very useful!
