Rec Room Patch Notes – August 1, 2023
UGC Touchpad
- New UGC Touchpad component is now in Beta. Similar to how Whiteboards work, Touchpad gets a player’s 2d input (hands in VR, cursor controls on Screens) to allow players to “touch” an object. Now you can pat, rub, and scrub like a pro!
- New chips/events in beta: Touchpad Touch Started, Touchpad Touch Updated, Touchpad Touch Ended, Touchpad Get Active Touch, Touchpad Get Interaction Enabled, Touchpad Set Interaction Enabled, Touchpad Get Interaction Label, Touchpad Set Interaction Label
Room Currency Customization Improvements
- You can now give your Room Currencies a custom UI icon by choosing from a selection of icons and colors. Add some flash to your in-Room cash!
- Each currency can share the same icon, but they cannot share the same color.
- All existing currencies will still have the default icon, but the color(s) will be auto-assigned.
- While only some users will be able to see the customization, ALL Creators will be able to view their own customizations in their Rooms.
General Improvements and Bug Fixes
- New Party Chat means that whenever you’re in a party, you’re in a party chat… even when you’re in different rooms. Party Chat is now also automatically pinned at the top of your chats for easy access. Let’s party!
- We’ve begun rolling out the ability for players to purchase multiple Room Consumables in a single checkout. This feature is currently only available for paid Room Consumables.
- We have fixed some recent issues with video player access. You should now be able to test your rooms using ‘Play Local’ again. Thanks for your patience!
- Added melee hit event support to vehicle collisions. Bumper cars, anyone?
- Fixed an audio issue that may have led to distorted or muffled audio in specific rooms.
- Test Event now has a string parameter in the Maker Pen menu! This allows for an easier trigger of debug chips.
- Fixed a bug that prevented the ‘Self’ chip from being cloned. But if you clone it, which will be your true ‘Self’…?
- ‘Respawn’ and ‘Room Reset’ have been added to the list of griefable chips.
- The ‘From Rec Room Object’ chip will now work correctly with Trigger Volume components.
- Fixed a bug that prevented use of the Respawn chip to position inside an invisible collision component with player and object collision disabled.
- Fixed an issue where players joining rooms at the same time could wind up with corrupted player boards.
- Fixed the look of the Solstice Spring Bloom Antlers.
Rec Room Studio
- The Rec Room Studio circuit palette will no longer place deprecated chips when an updated version is available.
- Multiple object selection should work faster.
- Removed some annoying pauses while working on assets in larger rooms.
