Hi!
I'm having trouble using the custom properties I've added to some of my CollisionBoxes through utiLITI.
I've tried to get them as followed, but they keep returning null.
/* 1: returns null */ collisionBox.getProperties().getProperty("propertyName"); /* 2: returns error because of 1 */ collisionBox.getProperties().getProperty("propertyName").getAsString(); /* 3: returns null */ collisionBox.getProperties().getStringValue("propertyName");
I tried using only lower case names and even one letter names, but still nothing.
Any ideas?

CalvinMT I've just tested this: apparently, this is currently a bug. Custom Properties are only provided by the Entity for ~~~~Triggers at the moment... It will be fixed in the next release ~~~~v0.4.16-alpha.

Oh, ok... :/
If the release isn't for anytime soon, I'll have to juggle with tags instead.
Thank you!

CalvinMT Currently fixing up a few more bugs, I think it'll be released in 1-2 weeks.
As a workaround: The information that you provide in the property is currently only stored in the ~~~~MapObject but not passed to the ~~Entity. you might retrieve this information from the ~~MapObject directly.
````javaGame.world().environment().getMap().getMapObject(collisionBox.getMapId()).getStringValue("propertyName")````
That's not very pretty but it works
