5/13/24 - API Improvements

• Added the BeforeProjectileLaunched event

• Changed properties on the Telepearled event that were causing issues in Lua execution

  • "start" -> "startPos"

  • "end" -> "endPos"

4/5/24 - Season 10 Changes

• Added TeamUpgradeEraPurchased event

• Added TeamUpgradeEraType to be used with the above event

  • This is due to the addition of match mechanics, which will soon be added to the Host Panel to configure in your custom match!

1/23/24 - Various Bug Fixes

• Fixed ChatService.sendMessage() not sending messages after reverting to the legacy chat system (due to lag caused by the updated Roblox chat system)

• Fixed CombatService not damaging or healing KitEntities, ImageEntities, or CreatureEntities

• BlockService.getAllBlocks() now gets all blocks placed by BlockService.placeBlock()

• EntityService.getNearbyEntities() now returns all entities, both player and other entities

• Fixed Scriptable Abilities not existing for players who joined after the script began running

• Fixed EntityService.spawnCreatureEntity() not spawning Penguin CreatureTypes

• Fixed setTransparency() on Models

• Fixed existing table methods

• Added table.getn, table.freeze, table.isFrozen, table.create

• Fixed AbilityService.getAbilities() only returning nil

• Fixed Player modifier methods (listed below) working for only one player at a time

  • registerSpeedModifier()

  • registerAdditionalAirJumps()

  • registerJumpHeightMultiplier()

• Fixed console printing the incorrect line number for errors

And some clarification on commonly reported bugs:

• Image assets ONLY work when passed in the rbxassetid format. For example: EntityService.createImageEntity("rbxassetid://11467634330", position)

• Setting collisions on the model of Entities does work but is limited because we use Humanoids, which force parts of the Humanoid to have collisions, such as LowerTorso and UpperTorso. Setting collisions will affect the 3D clothing of the kit model but not the Humanoid parts. Setting full collisions requires the use of Collision Groups, which we do not currently have an implementation for.
