1.13.0 - New behaviour of Set Active w/ Board Spaces
For Board Mod Creators
Complete disabling of board spaces was never a supported feature although was possible due to an oversight. Some creators have used this to visually show/hide a board space at a certain time, usually for custom board events.
The 'Set Active' action now has updated functionality when targeting board spaces.

The changes are as follows:
  • Disabling the transform of a board space will disable the board space in the same way that the new 'Set Board Space Active' action does, disabling its visuals and functionality while allowing players to pass over it without costing a step.
  • Disabling the transform of an object that has one or more board spaces somewhere as children within the hierarchy is no longer supported and will fail.

Here's what to do if your mod is affected:
  • If your mod contains a 'Set Active' action that enables/disables/toggles the transform of a board space:
    • No action is needed and boards will continue to work.
    • If you are using 'Set Active' to hide a space visually, note that connections will no longer be hidden as the board space will be enabled/disabled/toggled as if set by a 'Set Board Space Active'.
  • If your mod contains a 'Set Active' action that enables/disables/toggles a gameobject that has one or more board spaces as children of that object:
    • You will need to update your gameobject hierarchy structure.
    • The action will be ignored and the target object will not be enabled/disabled/toggled.
    • Resolution:
      • Move all board spaces out of the child hierarchy of the target transform. This includes all board spaces within the entire child hierarchy, not just direct children.
      • Add a separate 'Set Board Space Active' action to enable/disable/toggle the board spaces.

It's not known how many boards are affected by this change but it's likely very few due to this feature not being officially supported previously, although some creators may have used it without realising. This post has been made to notify creators in case anyone finds that their mod is affected.
We are truly sorry for any inconvenience this causes. If you have any questions or need guidance in updating any affected boards, please reach out below.
