Hello Creators,

On July 29 PDT, MapleStory Worlds will undergo v.26.7 patch maintenance.

We would like to inform you about the upcoming key changes in the v.26.7 update and any potential impact within the MapleStory Worlds app.

With this update, there will be new group member roles and API fixes regarding World behavior.

Please take a moment to review the information below. We hope this will minimize the impact on the content you are developing and operating.

[Key Updates and Impact Notice for the July 29 Update]

New Group Member Roles
- The roles ‘Development Manager’ and ‘Operations Manager’ will be added as new group member roles to help further break down and manage development/operation tasks within a World’s creation.
- As new roles are added, some permissions of the current existing roles will be adjusted.
- Please assign appropriate roles to members according to their group responsibilities.
Fixed an issue where entities with ‘PlayerComponent’ added could respawn at a location other than the one at map entry.
- If SpawnLocation is not assigned, or PlayerComponent.RespawnPosition is not specified, the entity’s respawn location may change.
- If you need to keep the existing behavior, place the SpawnLocation or specify PlayerComponent.RespawnPosition directly in the script.
Fixed an issue where local coordinates instead of World coordinates were changed when moving entities within the same map via the following APIs.
- Movementcomponent → SetWorldPosition()
- TeleportService — TeleportToEntity(), TeleportToEntityPath(), TeleportToMapPosition(), ReserveTeleportToEntity(), ReserveTeleportToMapPosition()
  - PlayerComponent — Respawn(), MoveToEntity(), MoveToEntityByPath(), MoveToMapPosition()
  - PortalComponent — When using portals
- For Worlds using the above APIs, please refer to the following information and take precautions to avoid issues after the update.

When moving entities within the same map, their behavior may change if their local and World coordinates differ.

If you need to change the entity's 'World coordinates,' please replace it with the following API.
- PlayerComponent:SetWorldPosition()
- TransformComponent.WorldPosition
If you need to change the entity's 'local coordinates,' please replace it with the following API.
- PlayerComponent:SetPosition()
- MovementComponent:SetPosition()
- TransformComponent.Position
If you use 'PlayerComponent:Respawn()', please modify it using the following method.
- Extend the PlayerComponent and override the Respawn() method to directly set the entity's position.

If you are using 'Portal', please set the entity's location directly in the PortalUseEvent handler.

Thank you,

- The MapleStory Worlds Team
