Hello all!

The new update is out (read more about it in the post below this one) and there are now Particles (AKA Sparkles) available for use in ROBLOX Studio. You can simply click a brick, press Insert -> Model -> And pick Sparkles of the big list of new objects! As of this update Sparkles is just an object that makes sparkles when in a brick, you can’t change colors, sizes, effects or what-not yet though. This all is expected to come out in next version of ROBLOX.

 Anyway, another new thing is the ability to give away free shirts without Builders Club, which sadly enough has been disabled at the moment, I managed to get a shirt on for free! If you want to get one for free, click this link!
I will keep you all updated on when this option is enabled again!

Another great new feature is the ClickDetector, another new object that, obviously, detects when it’s Parent (The parent is the Brick the object is placed in) is clicked.
Of course it’s not just that, a new function called onClicked() has been added!

A tiny tutorial for a door you can open.

Step 1. Make a big brick, that’s the door.
Step 2. Add the ClickDetector in it (Select the Door, Insert -> Object -> ClickDetector
Step 3. Now add a new script to the door (Select the Door, Insert -> Object -> Script)
Step 4. Add this to the script:

local isOn = true

function on()
 isOn = true
 script.Parent.Transparency = 0 –Makes door NON-transparent
 script.Parent.CanCollide = true –Makes door Collidable
end

function off()
 isOn = false
 script.Parent.Transparency = .5 –Makes door transparent
 script.Parent.CanCollide = false –Makes door uncollidable
end

function onClicked()
 
 if isOn == true then off() else on() end

end

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClicked)

on()
Step 5: Now you’re done and have a door that can be opened and closed when you click it!
Now you have your own clickable door lets move on to something else.
The new hats (except for, of course, clockwork’s shades) have been put for sale of been made available for free (Verified hat). Read the post below this one to see how to get your own free Verified Hat!

Furthermore there isn’t too much new, except for a completely updated catalog! Which is very nice and useful I must say :)
I really want to do the interview with stealth pilot soon, so I will start preparing questions tommorow, and of course, I will keep you guys updated on this!

 So far news of today,
