Hey everyone – I’d like to remove the guarantee that object keys are in draw-order for gather-game-client. Instead, draw order can be inferred from MapObject.zIndex
. Objects are still set by overwriting the affected range, or using the built in add/delete actions. Adding objects still sets them to be on top by default (also not modifiable yet, but will be once we can drop support for ensuring key-order).
From what I’ve seen people are up to, this shouldn’t affect much, only if you’re reading the draw order from key order – everything else is unchanged. But let me know if you do depend on this and need more than ~a week to upgrade!
(This is part of an effort to finally make object keys stable & unique identifiers (right now key
is unique, and id
is stable, but neither are both), and stop changing unrelated objects when you delete one object at the bottom of the stack. It will also permanently fix the common races when deleting or modifying multiple objects at once)
