Technical

API

• Component Template:Cd has been renamed to Template:Cd in V2.

Commands

• Moved the Template:Cd and Template:Cd subcommands out of the Upcoming Creator Features experiment.

Components

• Added the Template:Cd component
  • This component allows other mobs to have vertical and horizontal collisions with the component's owner.
    • For a collision to occur, both mobs must have a Template:Cd component.
    • This component can only be used on mobs and enables collisions exclusively between mobs.
  • Please note that this type of collision is unreliable for moving mobs.
    • It is recommended to use this component only in scenarios where the mob remains stationary.
  • Collidable behavior is closely related to stackable behavior.
    • While the Template:Cd component governs how other mobs interact with the component's owner, the Template:Cd component describes how an entity interacts with others of its own kind.
• The Template:Cd component now has two additional fields:
  • Template:Cd, applies a vertical offset to the entity's position when calculating distances to other entities.
  • Template:Cd, restricts the search to Players only, affecting all subsensors.
• Added the Template:Cd component, that causes the entity's body to automatically rotate to align with the nearest cardinal direction based on its current facing direction.
  • Combining this with the Template:Cd component will cause the entity to align to the nearest cardinal direction and remain fixed in that orientation, regardless of future changes in its facing direction.

Entity Components

• Added Template:Cd trigger to Template:Cd on Template:Cd sub-component, triggered on the newly spawned entity with other set to the owning entity.
• Added Template:Cd map to Template:Cd on Template:Cd sub-component, maps an item name to an actor filter to determine what the name of the item used in the particle should be. Falls back to the name of the entity itself as before.

Goals

• Template:Cd AI goal will now restrict mobs to their home position if they have the Template:Cd component.

Mobs

• Added maximum value of Template:Cd and minimum value of Template:Cd to Template:Cd component.

Network Protocol

• Added Template:Cd.
• Added Template:Cd.

Sounds

• Sound effects found in animations and animation controllers can now include an optional Template:Cd field similar to particle effects allowing them to originate from the locator on the entity rather than the origin.
