I just deployed a new release containing the following changes.
Bugfixes:
Messages no longer have a sending delay. They used to send & receive in a two-step process, but they are now delivered immediately. This makes messages faster and hopefully more practical to use
Objects can now have multiple Mailbox blocks for the same message. Previously only one mailbox would trigger per incoming message, but this restriction has been lifted.
Level sorting updates are less error-prone, with more validation
Crash fixed when using a capsule collider on very small sprites
Better cache expiration to prevent aggressive caching in chrome
New Feature:
Reply to sender option in Message settings. This will respond to the last message received, allowing for simpler two-way communication between objects.
Site Update:
There is a release notes page, linked in the website footer: https://flowlab.io/release_notes/ - I’ll be putting release notes there as well as here on the forums, for easier referencing.
Oooh! Looking forward to working with return to sender and immediate send. Ive been relying on messages a lot recently so this should help. Return to sender will also hopefully help me remember where the message is coming from since sometimes I lose track, especially when revisiting old code.
Hey @grazer - I’m still not completely sure how to solve the delay with the platforms. If anyone knows how to do it, please help, since it’s cause from the message update.
