Bugs Fixed

  • Fixed a bug where, if something triggered a laser pad and was instantly killed by the resulting laser, part of the laser would hang around afterwards.
  • Fixed a bug where, if a block was destroyed by a grill, and that block was attached to nearby blocks hanging over pits, the nearby blocks would remain hovering above the pits instead of falling in.
  • Fixed a bug where explosions could cause items to play unrelated animations.
  • Fixed a bug where right-clicking an item in the editor to change it wouldn't trigger autosave.
