    Hello There Boxers! :cool:

    Have a new build to share with everyone. This update includes a ton of fixes and much demanded additions since the 3118 Beta such as Checkpoints and 64 bit export support for Android. We're putting this out here for early before it goes official.

    [Important]: This build does not have Easy Ad Integration yet and a few high profile features are still being developed. This does not mean they are being forgotten or ignored, they are simply a bit more involved and are currently in progress by the team as we speak :)

    Also as is with any Beta release please ensure making a backup of any important projects prior to opening and saving them in the new build.

    If you find any bugs or issues please send them into support@buildbox.com with all pertinent details ASAP so we can get them documented and corrected. Drumroll.....below are the links:

    Great work as always. Just a thought, any chance of the Manual V1 being released in Beta? ;););) I am sure the community won't mind typos and can serve as free proof readers.

    From Techopedia : Ray casting is capable of transforming a limited form of data into a three-dimensional projection with the help of tracing rays from the view point into the viewing volume. The main principle behind ray casting is that rays can be cast and traced in groups based on certain geometric constraints.

    Bug: Rotate wont work on Dynamic objects.

    - EDIT: Its only when you use this.entity().setRotation(x,y,z). It works with Variable.setAngularVelocity(x,y,z) but that isn't the same. hopefully this can get fixed soon

    I see the Light Sun has been screwed up again. It was broken with one update then fixed with 3118 and is now broken again.:confused:

    This is an update that is in Beta, some issues are more complicated and take time to fix, however, we are working on the other issues, for any bugs, please send the BBDOC with the bug to support@buildbox.com

    By doing this, we will be able to find and fix bugs faster. We appreciate for your patience

    Hey @Sean Buildbox, what up? Nice share, thank you. Can you please ask Nik, in this robust ad integration unit can we have an option for rewarded videos when the Level is failed. Like for example... to have Last Chance/ Retry option when the game is over and simple countdown 3,2,1 .... so when pressed RETRY to have a rewarded video show up and actually help complete the level after the video is finished. Or to have rewarded video ads after Level Failed -> Retry. This is custom ad setup that's proven to work and must have in Buildbox!

    Thanks,
    Itzo

    Thank you. I read something similar as well. I don't really understand, maybe you are smarter than me, that is highly possible.
    What does it do to BB3 games? I was thinking maybe it would take down some of the lag or something.
    Do I turn it on or is it turn on for all games?

    I think that this is best explained by Unity:

    Same here with the lag @waqas ahmed . My objects are low poly too. Do you have a lot of objects in your scenes?
