- Added "scale_x", "scale_y", and "scale_z" entity properties to get or set the scale of an object or character from a script (e.g. player.scale_z = 0.5)
- Added ability to define terrain types for pushable objects in the Map Editor (similar to vehicle terrain types)
- Added "Set Terrain Types" scripting function to change the terrain types of characters/vehicles/pushable objects (e.g. set_terrain_types(entity["xyz"], PROHIBIT_FROM, array["water"]) - visual node coming soon)

- Added ability to get the cost of an item (as defined in the Item Editor) from a script using the ".cost" syntax (e.g. item["ITEM_0001"].cost)
- Added ability to hide/show widget elements using a new "visible" property (e.g. widget["my_widget"].element["0001"].visible = false)
- Added "Missing Dependencies" check to the Map Editor when saving maps in order to prevent them from becoming corrupted in cases where models they used were renamed or deleted

Bug Fixes:
- Fixed issue where the player would move in unexpected directions when using the standard camera with "relative to camera" movement and the camera was at a 45-degree increment
- Fixed issue where the movement control type setting for projects would incorrectly default to "Tank" instead of "Relative to Camera" in certain scenarios
- Fixed issue with Global Illumination in the Map Editor not recalculating map boundaries until toggled off then back on again (now only a "Bake" is required)
- Fixed issue with data being null when using the "Load Data" function to load a JSON file that was previously stored without a password using the "Save Data" function
- Fixed issue with "Set Entity Tooltip" not immediately updating the tooltip text when the entity's tooltip was currently being displayed
- Fixed issue with visual scripts where nodes would display above the darkened overlay after moving them and then editing the source code
- Fixed error that would occur in the Script Editor when the "Put Player" function was used without explicitly including the "Player Direction" argument (after applying the source code)
Documentation:
- Updated "Script Syntax" built-in docs to include info about custom functions along with some example code
- Updated "Script Syntax" built-in docs to include info about math functions ("round", "mod", "pow", "sqrt", "abs", "floor", and "ceil")
