New Patch is live!
This week brings you a tool to take workshop icons for your worlds directly in game, and some towering new buildings!
Workshop image creator
It's now way easier to create a workshop icon for your games. It can all be done in game by pressing F8 in your world. For further info on this new feature, checkout the full update thread >>here<<
Portal Link checker
To save frustration when uploading a game to the workshop, in edit mode a warning will display if there are any un-linked portals. We know with the size of some of the games you are creating it can be tricky to figure out all the links! More info in the update thread.
Towers
Some new towers are now available to add into your games.

Latest Patch - Factions!
War has broken out in MyWorld with the introduction of Factions! Full update thread >>here<<
Factions
Any "enemy" whether stock or custom made can now be assigned a faction via the trusty Enemy Stash dialog (Click on the little bag above an enemy when in edit mode).
There are 4 factions: Enemy 1 (default for all enemies) , Enemy 2, Enemy 3 and Player (all player characters are this faction).
All factions are hostile to the others, so for example Enemy 1 and Enemy 2 factions like nothing more than to pound each other into the ground. Any enemy on the Player faction will not attack players and cannot be hurt by players.
By default, enemies fighting each other will only do a small amount of damage to each other and never take another enemies health below half way. This allows for big battle scenes to take place and to keep on going, allowing the players to pick up the kills and get the loot.
There is an option in the Enemy Stash, groups with the Factions called "Does full damage to non-players", if this is ticked then enemies will do normal damage to other enemies. This allows you to set up a "hero" scenario where one character will be substantially stronger than the others and overcome impossible odds - but also allows you to see how the fights play out, for example pitting 2 bosses (or more!) against each other. If an enemy is hit by another enemy that is doing full damage, that enemy will no longer yield any XP or a chance at loot for the player.
Healers like the shaman will heal his own faction (assuming they are within range of his heal), but not the players, even if he is in the player faction. Similarly any player healing such as the Paladins heal, will only heal players and not other characters in the faction.
When an enemy is in a fight with another enemy and on a different faction to the player, they will mostly stick to fighting that enemy (unless they kill them, then they will look for another victim!), If the player gets very close though the enemy may well turn their attention to the player/s.

Fixes
As well as factions we also squeezed in some fixes:
- Turrets no longer shoot through walls or other objects
- Sound effects have been improved to not allow the same sound to be played lots of times at once
- Goblin Blaster explosion effects no longer has transparency issues
Let the battles begin! :BuckeKnight:
Latest Patch! Enemy spawn on quests and Enemy Respawns!
This week brings you some spawn and re-spawn controls for enemies! Full update thread >>here<<
Spawning enemies on quest
When setting a quest you can now click "Pick enemies to spawn" and select one or more enemies that will only spawn when this quest is accepted. Clicking an already selected enemy will unselect them. You can also clear all selections back in the Quest editor by clicking "Clear enemies to spawn". In play mode these enemies will not be in the world until the quest that spawns them has been accepted. This allows for greater story telling as you could for example send the player out to hunt down enemies that have been attacking, only to find when he returns that the enemies are attacking the town itself. It also means you can reuse areas for different combat situations, perhaps hiding a boss until it is the right time to face them.
Enemy Respawn times
By default enemies do not respawn after being killed, but now in the enemy stash dialog, you can set the respawn time in minutes. 0 minutes means no respawn, 1 minute means the enemy will respawn 1 minute after being killed. There is also a button to copy the respawn setting to all enemies currently in the world "Copy time to all". Shift clicking to place a duplicate enemy will retain the respawn settings of the enemy you are duplicating.
