GAME MAKER 0.11 - COLLISIONS UPDATE
Collisions will be automatically removed from objects when [SP] Speaker is applied due to inconsistent physics in multiplayer from the Look at Target option rotating assets in multiplayer Experiences. There are two approaches to working around this change:
Change the [SP] Speaker component to [MP], keeping in mind that it will behave differently in multiplayer Experiences.
Keep the [SP] Speaker component on the object. Then, create a duplicate, remove all of its logic, and set it to invisible.
Build Singleplayer & Multiplayer Logic - about [SP] or [MP] behaviours or components
Apply the Speaker component to display messages and/or send messages.Use Speaker to start quests, give hints to the player or trigger something to happen elsewhere.
