  • In Freeze Tag, liquids that do damage now thaw frozen players.
  • In Freeze Tag, when a player with a powerup is frozen the powerup now drops next to the player.

Content service/Editor

  • Saving a map in the editor will now generate a thumbnail for it that will be shown on the UI. For the camera setup for the shot, the engine will look for the “thumbnail” entity. If the thumbnail entity doesn’t exist, the first intro dolly camera will be used. If this isn’t setup a spawn location will be used. If there are no spawns in the map, a bird’s eye view of the map encompassing the level will be used.
  • If your map doesn’t have a thumbnail entity yet you can add it by positioning yourself towards the angle you wish to represent your map, then open the editpad (the previous camera angle will not be altered by looking down at the editpad), search for “thumbnail” in the editpad and add it, if you want to reposition it you can follow the same steps again, and the previous thumbnail entity will be replaced by the new one, then save the map and publish it in order for your map’s thumbnail to be visible.

Let us spectate in Freeze Tag. The game mode is really fun but being frozen and waiting for teammates to unfreeze us isn't the most fun part of the gameplay.

In Freeze Tag, there is now a frozen icon waypoint on top of frozen teammates which is visible through the environment.

I didn't check it yet but based on the description it seems that the waypoint doesn't stick to the edges of the screen. Let's make it stick because unfreezing teammates is the main objective in this game mode.

The note is a bit misleading, yes. The waypoint is indeed a sticky one.
