LogicBricks and SecretToys

Nothing new, just releasing the separate small VAR packages that were used for the Connect demo scene in preparation for the free release of Connect soon'ish.

LogicBricks

Eventually this is intended to be a collection of small reusable logic plugins to quickly build simple logic without coding. Still very small "collection" at this point, just a single plugin :D

The key feature here is that it is using VaM's own Trigger UI, so it should be familiar and easy to use for any creator who used VaM's trigger system before. Just like an UIButton, you can hook it up to AnimationPattern's, Timeline, other plugins and all the kinds of things VaM has to offer.

I hope this collection will grow eventually as I need little plugins when building demo scenes for other plugins. Maybe other creators chime in and build compatible plugins using the same EventTrigger system. If you are a creator, check out the included MacGruber_Utils.cs, which handles the needed building of custom UI for the trigger screen, internal handling of AssetBundles as well as scene load/save for you. The actual plugin can be comparatively simple, you only need to hook my wrapper code in, which is essentially copy&paste from my plugin. The Utils class also helps with creating sliders, buttons, etc. for your plugin UI.

RandomTimer: Triggers a repeating event with a random wait time between a min and max.

SecretToys

Currently just a simple riding crop. Collection might grow eventually. Obviously intended to be used with my SecretRoom environment, but a separate asset in case you want to use it for something else.

I recommend to use my ParentHoldLink plugin, part of the Essentials package, if you want a character to hold the thing for an animation.
