Hello everyone! We are thrilled to release our first mini-update featuring the rotary encoder mode for our knob components. This is the first of a series of small updates we will be releasing while the big Story Mode patch is in the works (check previous news for info).
With this update, any knob can now be set to have infinite rotation by setting its the hardware parameters. Setting a knob to infinite changes the behavior of the knob by removing the rotation limits of the default version.
We also added the knob.DeltaValue to all knob modules. This property returns the variation of knob.Value since the previous frame.
This update also:
- Fixes a minor code completion bug.
- Solves an issue that prevented CPU event channels to be set to nil.
Have fun with the rotary encoders! See you in a few weeks for another mini-update!
