NewIn the game, scripts can use `GetEntityForwardVector`, `GetEntityForwardX` and `GetEntityForwardY` on server and client.Engine
New`GetEntityForwardVector`, `GetEntityForwardX` and `GetEntityForwardY` on server and client. Use them for "in front of the player" math; GAMPEON headings stay measured like the rotation in the Unreal editor (0 faces +x, 90 faces +y).SDK & scripting
NewServer scripts can place objects in the game world with `CreateObject`, `CreateObjectNoOffset`, `DeleteEntity` and `FreezeEntityPosition`.Engine
NewObjects use physics on the server and rest until something hits them. All players see the same position.Engine
NewGames can add their own object models in their config, next to the built-in shapes.Engine
NewThe hello example has `/cube` and `/clearcubes` to try it out.Engine
NewServer scripts can create objects with `CreateObject` and remove them with `DeleteEntity`. Built-in models: `prop_cube`, `prop_sphere`, `prop_cylinder`, `prop_cone` and `prop_plane`.SDK & scripting
New`GetHashKey`, `GetEntityModel`, `IsModelValid`, `IsModelAVehicle` and `FreezeEntityPosition` for scripts.SDK & scripting
ImprovedObjects from a resource are removed when the resource stops, so restarts leave nothing behind.SDK & scripting
NewClient scripts from GAMPEON test servers download automatically when you join and run in your game (preview)Engine
NewServer owners can restart a resource and players get the new client files right away.Engine
NewLua scripts in the game can read player positions and teleport players (`GetPlayerPed`, `GetEntityCoords`, `SetEntityCoords` and more)Engine
NewLua scripts can read where players are: `GetPlayerPed`, `PlayerPedId`, `GetEntityCoords`, `GetEntityHeading`, `GetEntityVelocity`, `DoesEntityExist` and `GetEntityType`, with the familiar native names.SDK & scripting
NewServer scripts can teleport and turn players with `SetEntityCoords` and `SetEntityHeading`.SDK & scripting
New`gampeon-server` has a placeholder world for testing scripts without the game (`gp_fakeplayer move` and `gp_fakeplayer where`).SDK & scripting
