Features

• allow an 'active shield' to have a specified button that activates it 726205f97
• set bottle contents in Init Data / Cheat Menu 7bf318ba0
• conveyor flag to affect airborne entities. 11f8b8704  

  Works exactly like the screen flag "Combos affect Midair Hero", but specified on the conveyor itself.

• "Only Visible In Editor" combo flag 629ba7450
• Even more combo trigger features 89c5876ef  

  • hero facing direction conditional
  • counter "percentage" / "gradual" flags
  • copycat "no cause" flag
  • "Land Here->"/"Land Anywhere->" causes
  • Move (teleport) Player effects
  • Player position / jump speed conditionals
  • combo type specific causes (currently only pitfalls/liquid)
  • "Load Level Palette" effect can now use "-2" to load the current screen's "Editor F4 Palette"

Editor

• 'Shift+Plus'/'Shift+Minus' in trigger editor now swap to next/prev trigger 93519c5a6

ZScript

• automatic array/string management; improved internal arrays 4b40449cc  

  • arrays (which includes strings) are automatically freed by garbage collector when no longer used (if appropriately typed as an array)
  • removed constraints for local arrays (no more Temporary literals cannot be stored!). Can now return local arrays (and strings) from functions
  • internal arrays (like Screen->D[]) can be used like any other array: assign to another variable, get the length with SizeOfArray, use w/ for loops, etc.
  • arrays assigned to a global variable or otherwise reachable from a saved object always persist to the save file
  • references to internal arrays expire when their engine object is destroyed (ex, when a lweapon is destroyed, or when a new screen is loaded); they also don't persist to the sav file (will just load as NULL)
