New Features in RPG JS v4.2.0 Release!

Hey RPG JS enthusiasts!

We're thrilled to announce the release of RPG JS v4.2.0, packed with some awesome new features and improvements that will take your game development to the next level. Here's what's new:

Auth Hook: The new auth hook in RPGJS revolutionizes player authentication. It's designed to be agnostic, meaning you can integrate it with any authentication system you prefer. This flexibility allows for seamless integration without being tied to a specific database or third-party system. https://docs.rpgjs.dev/advanced/auth.html

inject() Function: Say goodbye to long chains for retrieving instances! The inject function is a game-changer for dependency injection. It enables easy access to instances of various classes in both client and server environments. For example, retrieving keyboard controls is now as simple as:

    import { inject, KeyboardControls } from '@rpgjs/client';
    const controls = inject(KeyboardControls);

Vitest Configuration in rpg.toml: We've now integrated vitest configuration options in the rpg.toml file, making your testing and configuration process more streamlined and efficient.

Mouse Events in rpg.toml: you can utilize mouse events in your game configurations. Here’s a snippet to show how it works:

    [inputs.action]
    name = "action"
    bind = ["space", "enter", "click"],

useEventPropagator() in React Hook and v-propagate directive in VueJS: Enhance your GUI interactions with the new useEventPropagator() in React and the v-propagate directive in VueJS. These tools are designed to efficiently propagate events within the Canvas, offering a smoother and more intuitive user experience.

We can't wait to see the incredible games you'll create with these new features. As always, your feedback is invaluable to us, so don't hesitate to share your experiences and suggestions.

Happy coding!

Hello,

inject & auth methods looks great,

but I found one issue after update.

Previously something like this:

event.server.send();
event.showAnimation('aquamarine-green', 'stand');
event.remove();

which was the result of this discussion

worked like this:

but now there is a lag when I execute this skill and no animation is played:

I tried to change it to:

const server = inject(RpgServerEngine);
server.send();
event.showAnimation('aquamarine-green', 'stand');
event.remove();

or to:

event.showAnimation('aquamarine-green', 'stand');
event.remove();

but it does not work 😕

Edit 1: also I tried to change animation name from stand to skill

Edit 2: I found that

event.remove()

sometimes just does not work:

(On the video arrow stayed on the map)

I remove the event in the onComplete of moveTo and previously it was working.

The problem is not easy to solve, as the event is deleted just after the animation. On the client side, it looks for the sprite to display the animation. This may work if the animation starts before the sprite is deleted, but it's not guaranteed depending on how the packets are received on the client side.

A more efficient way is to display an animation on the scene without worrying about the sprite. But this can only be done client-side, as the server has no control over it.

I'll add this point for the next release

420 is the best release. For obvious reasons

Hello,

I experienced one more issue with the newest version.

RpgEvents are visible on objects that have z set to eg. 1 in tiled. Check on the video

However it works for players.

Hello,

The problem has been solved on the latest version (). You can update RPGJS

Samarium A more efficient way is to display an animation on the scene without worrying about the sprite. But this can only be done client-side, as the server has no control over it.

But in this case, I can't control the collision of the animation with enemies.
I want to apply damage when a collision is detected.
Probably it's possible to do, but for now, I'll leave it until the next version.

In case it will be impossible to implement I'll take care of it on client side 👍️

I still have problems with event.remove() when moveTo is completed (arrows stay on map)
Is it also related to the problem you said it's hard to implement?
