April update: Drawing

The April update is here! This one mainly brings a big new feature: in-game drawing on objects! You can draw lines that other players will be able to see, and the lines are saved with the rest of the game.



• You can now draw on ground objects: select "Start Drawing" in the right click menu, and a new window with drawing options will appear. While that window is open, you can draw using the mouse. There are a couple of modes available: free draw, straight lines, shapes (from rectangles to circles), and erasing existing lines. You can also change the color and thickness of the lines you draw.
• New permission to disable access to drawing
• New permission to disable access to ground mode and locking/unlocking objects
• Show snap preview for grabbed objects when holding multiple objects and snapping multiple is switched on

Scripting
• Add support for drawing: a new class `DrawingLine` represents drawn lines, `GlobalScriptingEvents.onLineDraw` is called when a player has finished drawing a line, and new methods in `GameObject` and `GameWorld` allow you to manage drawing lines from scripts: `addDrawingLine`, `getDrawingLines`, and `removeDrawingLine`
• Add `world.nextTurn`, `world.previousTurn`, and `world.getCurrentTurn`
• Add `Rotator.getInverse`
• Zone owner slots for the final two slots (White and Black by default) did not work from scripts
• `GameObject.getExtent` and `GameObject.getExtentCenter` could cause zone overlap events when used on scaled objects close to a zone
• `SnapPointFlipValidity` had a typo (was spelled `SnapPointFLipValidity`)

Fixes
• Switching on snapping for multiple held objects caused object groups to always snap to the ground
• D6 model was slightly too small after the previous update
• Tags could be duplicated when loading save states while playing
