22/01/2024
  • Documentation update.

v2.21

25/11/2023
  • CrestWaterDataProvider cleanup and fixed flow issue with Crest (@Kyleli).
  • Fixed OnExitWaterDataProvider causing index out of range issue.

v2.20

26/06/2023
  • Fixed variable CoM combined mass affector is never applied.
  • Fixed first mass affector is skipped.

v2.19

09/06/2023
  • Editor file restructuring to allow the asset to work without assembly definitions. Clean import required!

v2.18

29/05/2023
  • VariableCenterOfMass Fixed null issue when the GameObject is disabled.
  • Vehicle onActiveVehicleChanged now passes previous and current vehicles as params.
  • WaterObject Fixed the issue where when there are no WaterDataProviders active the WaterObject would remember the data from the last WaterDataProvider, instead of falling back to default.

v2.17

22/05/2023
  • Vehicle Added Vehicle.ActiveVehicle which replaces VehicleChanger.ActiveVehicle. This removes the dependency of multiple scripts on VehicleChanger. Also makes the demo scripts work without it.
  • Vehicle Added 'isPlayerControllable' option. If this is set to false the vehicle will never be set as Vehicle.ActiveVehicle. Useful for trailers and other passive vehicles as the ActiveVehicle is always the last enabled vehicle.

v2.16

19/05/2023
  • Fixed intermittent NaN error caused by WaterObject.
  • Fixed SailController lift force direction, introduced in 2.15.

v2.15

16/05/2023
  • Updated KWSWaterDataProvider to work with the latest KWS version.
  • Fixed SailPreset build bug.
  • Fix SailController lift force direction.
  • Added SailController separate drag and lift force direction gizmos.

v2.14

11/05/2023
  • Added SailPresets to SailController for better adjustability. These replace the previous lift and drag coefficients and the fixed force calculation.
  • Tab now toggles the demo UI.

v2.13

03/05/2023
  • Cleaned up and commented out the sailing code. Added custom editors for all the sailing scripts.
  • Rework of the Submarine and Sink components. Both are now just VariableCenterOfMass MassAffectors, meaning they act as variable weight/ballast attached to the ship.
  • Transform position of the Sink component itself now determines the center of mass offset point / point of water ingress.
  • Submarine depth input now changes the relative depth instead of setting the absolute depth value. This means that negative input means deeper, positive input means shallower.
  • VariableCenterOfMass changes, including the removal of the unused centerOfMassOffset and bug fixes.

v2.12

02/05/2023
  • Added sail controller early preview.
  • Added Sailboat to the demo.
  • Fixed WaterObjectWizard null bug.
