[New build - EXPERIMENTAL] 21w32a: Event Gate replaces Query

The event gate can now listen to "value" event: they function very much like the old query gate.
For example you can trigger logic when a rotator angle goes below a given threshold.

All mechanism can be linked to an Event gate.
Vehicle Computer can output Power and Heat Percentage.
Old Query Gate will be migrated to the new gate format. The blueprint must be in .sevo format first!

Still WIP:

Event gate shows mechanism range of values (like on the old query)
Smarter input for percentage
Continuous mode: ie the event gate would produce continuously a value between 0 and 1 like a manual controller.
Event replace hotkey gate.

Bugfixes:

#4070 #4097 #4046 Freeze linked to turrets.
#4091 Prefab PNG preview not exporting.
#4082 Issue with laser and logic.
#4065 Most command are a bit too dark.
#4089 Crash when deleting stacked children entity.
#4052 Heat / Power balance not showing on blueprint load.

Thanks for playing!

[New build - EXPERIMENTAL] 21w30a: Event Gate

The new Event Gate is added to the game!

You can specificy a pulse length

Dont hesitate to suggest any event you would like to listen!
