Fusion 2.5+ DLC Official pre and post-launch Thread

Quote from Crian

Is there any possibility that you will release a flippable active object (or a scale x/y with negative value)?
This will save a lot of memory and time.

Yea i noticed that when you shrink an active's scale, the negative scale shows nothing, instead of the possible of flipping it. o_O

Though I thought I remembered setting a negative scale just remained the sprite facing the same direction, but I guess my memory isn't all that great. Maybe this is something that could be fixed?

What will the price be?

This sounds great, look forward to release.
+1 on qualifiers in global events.
If that is indeed a new feature, it's a game changer.
Also child events.

I'll probably be starting a new project in a few months so can't wait to take this for a spin!

I'd like to learn more about the improved global event editor.
Can we access qualifiers globally in it?
Would be nice if we can add/name qualifiers?

I hope they can improve the Behavior Editor in the same way. Currently, behaviors are pretty useless, but they could be extremely useful.
Programming a complete game with hundreds of objects in just one event editor gets really messy.

Yea, that's been a thing since forever as far as I know. Even the video states it wasn't supposed to be the intended way of doing it. Just a neat little trick to bypass the limits of whatever. Though I'm sure it could mess up your game/app/software in the long run from my understanding.

I am really glad that there will be more possibilities and even more tricks in Fusion 2.5+, features that we really needed.

I agree! This would be most useful.

I too would be curious to know the advantages of DX11 here. How about a detailed summary, Clickteam? That make more enticed to jump on the Patreon.

I want there to be a Behaviour editor button in the same way the event editor button works because its annoying having to go through 4 clicks everytime.
I made a mockup. This extra button would be a huge time saver.

I feel like the idea of using Behaviours like Prefabs is how it should be done as its become an industry standard now for the use of prefab code. With the new parent child system this could be extremely powerful. At the moment I work almost entirely with Behaviours but it can be a bit annoying due to the above mentioned UI issue. I should be able to select an active object and the Behaviours Editor button should be ungreyed. Instead of having to access via the properties. Its also completely ignored in the Customisation menu as well. - I realise the workflow issue I'm running into is that if you select the frame and then go back to the object the display options are shown thus resetting my position in the UI.

Edit: Same should be the case for the Global Event Editor as well, there should be a button on the UI for it instead of having to select the application from the Project/Workspace Toolbar menu.

Edit2: Whoops I forgot you can have multiple Behaviour sheets for each object. So it'd have to have a dropdown menu so you could choose what page its open to. It'd be really nice to be able to jump through behaviours quickly.

I'm looking forward to seeing some Performance data.

Solving this problem would mean saving a lot of memory, a big step forward, for those who develop games in High Definition

Thank you clickteam!

Will Fusion 2.5+ include improvements in all the exporters or Windows only ? I'm asking especially for Child Events.

Of course on all exporters (confirmed by Kisguri on Discord)

I really hope the new features and runtime functions in 2.5+ will get good detailed documentation so we can understand how it works and know how to best use them...

I find that every time I've learned more about how fusion really works under the hood I've been able to produce better logic and get much better results, leveraging the strengths of the engine rather than fighting against it.

Fusion 2.5+ sounds great - the profiler and performance tweaks are especially much appreciated!

I have a few hundred questions but limiting myself to a few that I'd hope to see elaborated upon, if possible

1) Under "Optimizations" in Properties there's "Optimize events". How does it work exactly? (Is there a reason why a user would not always keep this enabled?)
2) If you click a line on the Profiler tab, will it take me to the referred event in the Event Editor? It might sound like a minor thing but in the long run it saves a lot of time spent scrolling through the editor when you have a lot of lines and folders.
3) "A faster Windows runtime with optimized memory use and a DirectX 11 mode" Is it the DX11-part that makes this a faster Windows runtime or are these two different things?

Looking forward to make use of this add-on in my projects!

Very excited about this update, hope to get more details soon!

for dx11 mode we can create very cool shaders))

My dude, I hope to see a shader shop of yours in the future:)
