This release finally uses Godot Engine 4.4. It adds the
GGCraftingSystem
singleton and updates the
GGInteractable2DStrategyCrafting
class to use it. The crafting editor nodes now have prefixes, which makes it much easier to search for specific recipe or item nodes in larger crafting libraries.
Some syntactic sugar was added as well. You can now easily iterate over an
GGInventory
object to iterate over its contents:
The inventory addon now also includes an export plugin, which automatically excludes the editor addons from being included in exported games. This helps reduce the size of the
.pck
file.
To make interactions easier, the addon now includes a
GGInteractable2DStrategyExpression
class. This makes it easy to add one-off interaction integrations without having to create a new class.
