Share this post:
  • Added a default style for entity tooltips and the ability to change their background color and border color from the Theme Editor (in tooltip styles section)
  • Added ability to increase a character's level using the "stat" syntax (e.g. player.stat["level"] += 1 will give the player enough XP to reach the next level)
  • Added a "Did You Know?" section to the bottom of the Game Manager for displaying random helpful tips (includes 20 tips initially, with more to come!)
  • Added ability to assign a tooltip to the player character using the "Set Entity Tooltip" scripting function
