I have some ideas about entities enhancements and new entities.
Please tell me if you find them usefull and realistic
Enhancements of existing entities:
- target_score should accept negative count ( penality )
- teleport should preserve the current angles of the player
- lightJunior should suport attribute style
- trigger_gravity should accept the keyword "default" in gravity attribute
- path_corner should have a STOP flag ( only solution for the moment is wait 99999, and then retrig the related func_train )
- allow more than 50 chars in target_print
New entities:
target_loose_equipment

-

note:
- coupled with trigger_stage it can be intresting to incrase gradually the build points.
