New in RPG in a Box 0.6.0.3 Pre-Alpha (Jul 24, 2020)

New in RPG in a Box 0.6.0.2 Pre-Alpha (Jul 21, 2020)

Hi everyone! This update contains mostly bug fixes, but there is a change relating to the syntax of local variables that I wanted to call out specifically: going forward, local variable names must now begin with a dollar sign ($). This is to help distinguish variables in scripts and to prevent their names from conflicting with reserved words. Scripts that are already parsed will not be affected, however if you edit a script or create a new one, the parser will give an error when a variable name is missing the "$" prefix. As I understand it may be tedious to fix existing scripts, I am more than happy to help update them for anyone if you have large scripts using a lot of local variables (or even many small ones).
Changed syntax for local variables to require a dollar sign ($) prefix in front of the variable name (e.g. $my_var = 10), updated parser to display appropriate error message
Added "duplicate" function for duplicating an array or JSON data (e.g. $array_copy = duplicate($my_array) or $data_copy = duplicate(data["my_file"]))

Added error popup that displays when attempting to save a visual script containing variables without the "$" prefix (editor will also revalidate all visual node fields)

Updated expression builder dialogs in the Script Editor to display error message about the "$" variable name prefix for the exclamation icon's tooltip
Updated direct entry fields on visual script nodes to display error message about the "$" variable name prefix for the exclamation icon's tooltip
Updated "Attach Object" scripting function to support an additional parameter so the target entity's attach point ID can be different than that of the object's (e.g. attach_object("sword", player, "handle", "right_hand"))
Fixed issue with attach points where attaching an object to an attach point was not first removing the existing object on that same attach point
