Version 3.03

Share this post:

The battle grid has been redone. Positioning is now determined by manually-set row and col values rather than the index of the character. This means you don't have to fill parties with null entries anymore!

Code for displaying characters in the battle grid is now stored in a separate file, Battle Grid.tw, to keep the main code uncluttered.
Additionally, the broken "move" command has been fixed.
Empty tiles are now styled with dotted borders rather than solid ones to make them less obtrusive.

The noself check for ally-targeting abilities now checks the target's id rather than its name. This will prevent glitches in the case of a party having multiple characters with the same name.
New Action property: canTargetDead. If true, the action can target dead characters. This is useful for revival skills and the like.

The "Actor Box" widget has been slightly tweaked to enable this function. "Actor Box Name" is now used for the display of dead character names as well, and has a priority branch that will bypass all others if the character is dead and the battle phase is not in targeting.

The "last action" functionality should work again.
New Effect property: guardBreak. Effects with this property will prevent the victim from guarding characters (if you are using a battle map). There is a corresponding getter in Actor, which will also return true if the character is dead.
During the targeting phase, hovering over a viable target will now highlight them and any targets affected by the action's area of effect, if it has one.
You will no longer get an error if the handler for saving lastAction fails to find the action in the subject's actions.
