v1.50

MegaScatter updated to be compatible with Unity 6

v1.49

MegaScatter updated to be compatible with Unity 2023

v1.48

Fixed an issue in the Scatter Object Along system where if a spline had height then the objects might not get scattered near the top.

Fixed an issue in the Scatter Mesh Along system where if a spline had height then the objects might not get scattered near the top.

v1.47

Fixed a bug where scatters could cause an exception is the number of splines in a shape is changed by another script.

Fixed the demo scene where some of the scatters would not work due to the above error.

v1.46

This updates means MegaScatter now uses the MegaShapes included with MegaFiers 2. This will stop errors when importing MegaScatter into a project which already includes MegaFiers 2 or MegaShapes.

This update is only needed if you need to use MegaScatter in a prject with MegaFiers 2 or MegaShapes in it.

This update is likely code breaking in a couple of places so please backup your project before using this update.

When installing MegaScatter in a project install MegaFiers 2 and or MegaShapes first as required, then install MegaScatter, and then dont import any asset that is marked as already in the project.

v1.45

Fixed a bug where some scatter types would not Update when the green update button in the inspector was clicked

v1.44
