Superfighters Deluxe News

ScriptAPI:

* Updated Game.GetObjectsByArea(...) to include a second parameter (PhysicsLayer.Active | PhysicsLayer.Background | PhysicsLayer.All) to be able to get objects from the background Box2D world (where FarBg objects and PathNode objects are).
* Added IObject.GetPhysicsLayer() to be able to read if an object is in the Background or Active Physics layer.
* Added CollisionFilter.AbsorbProjectile and RayCastInput.AbsorbProjectile to be able to filter if projectiles are absorbed on hit or not.
* Added float IObjectWeaponItem.DespawnTime, void IObjectWeaponItem.SetDespawnTime(int despawnTimeMs), bool IObjectWeaponItem.Despawning, IObjectWeaponItem.BreakOnDrop, IObjectWeaponItem.SetBreakOnDrop(bool value) to be able to control how items are despawned (with a few exceptions, see the ScriptAPI documentation for details).
* Added IPlayer.InThrowingMode to be able to see if the player has toggled to throwing mode.
* Added IObjectTimerTrigger.ResetTrigger(), IObjectTimerTrigger.StopTimer(), IObjectTimerTrigger.StartTimer(), IObjectTimerTrigger.IsTimerRunning to be able to stop/start/reset timers through code.
* Added IObjectAlternatingTrigger.ResetTrigger() which restarts the trigger at the first item.
* Added IObjectWeaponItem IPlayer.Disarm(WeaponItemType weaponType, Vector2 velocity) to be able to make players drop any weapon at any time.
* Added IPlayer.DealDamage(float damage) to be able to deal "misc/other" damage according to the built in rules for players in the game.
* Added Events.PlayerWeaponAddedActionCallback, Events.PlayerWeaponRemovedActionCallback to be able to listen when items are added or removed from player equipment (for example when a player grabs items, drops items, or throws items, or when a script removes/adds items etc.). See documentation for more details.
* Added IPlayer.GetWeaponMuzzleInfo(..), IPlayer.GetWeaponLazerInfo(..) to get world position and direction from an equipped weapon to be able to read where projectiles should be spawned if you're creating custom projectiles.
* Added Game.WriteToConsole(param object[] message) and Game.WriteToConsoleF(string format, param object[] args) for some quicker formatting.
* Fixed a NullReferenceException when using Game.CreateObject() in ObjectDamageCallback.
* Fixed a bug where LocalStorage and GlobalStorage wouldn't properly save empty arrays, causing them to be read as an array of length 1.
* Fixed a bug where damage from SawBlades and StreetsweeperBlades would count towards TotalMeleeDamageTaken instead of TotalOtherDamageTaken in the IPlayer.Statistics.
* Fixed the default "My Project" label in the documentation to "Superfighters Deluxe".

* Added command "/MODERATORS" to be able to list all moderators in-game if you are the host.
* Added support to be able to assign passwords to moderators. This is done by right clicking on the moderator list in the server software OR by using the command "/SETMODERATORPASSWORD [X] [PASS]" where [X] is the shorthand index of the moderator (as displayed in the /MODERATORS command) and [PASS] is the new password.
* Fixed a bug where commands "/SETTEAMS" and "/SHUFFLETEAMS" wouldn't work in offline games.
* Fixed a red error message being displayed in the tutorial when dying for the first time.

Map Editor:
* Fixed a bug where you couldn't target OnPlayerDamageTriggers in the map editor from other triggers.
* Fixed a crash that could happen when clicking on buttons in the map while testing your map in the Map Editor.
* ScriptAPI: Added IPlayer.GetEnergy(), IPlayer.GetMaxEnergy() to read current energy from a player.
