Editor Plugins

Immunity Wars

This week I implemented some ability previews, that show damage that abilities will do and show anything the ability spawns. I also reworked a bunch of the UI to use rich text.

Additionally, I started work on an editor plugin to help with recording ability demonstrations for use in tooltips. It would find all of the abilities that need demonstrations present in any scene in the project, and display them. Then abilities could be selected and their demonstrations recorded.

I'm spending more time than I probably should on the plugin especially since I can't reuse it for other projects. I didn't need to allow it to search the project for the user, and it also didn't need to run on a different thread as the small lag spike was not a real problem; however, I have already learned a lot about the engine, and I'm enjoying exploring new systems.
