v2.4
This update includes three major new features to add to Quillscript's pool of tools. It introduces the new Dynamic Options, Smart Typewriter, and Tooltip Text.
Dynamic Options are used to generate an options set during runtime. The Smart Typewriter is our new reusable object to display typewrite effect, text pauses and other functions. And Tooltip Text is an new text decorator used to display a tooltip text or widget when a substring is hovered inside a Rich Text Block.
Release Date: 2025-01-07
Engine Version: 5.5
