[Solved]Where is Handle Path Data? [4.5.6]

I updated to 4.5.6 after taking a haitus and now paths are gone from the adventure module. Handle Path Data under SubRoutines in defined scripts just points to blank.asm. I've spent a few hours trying to find it and no luck. HandleUpdateObject.asm also seems to have been removed and/or renamed/reworked. Would anyone mind pointing me in the right direction? Should I just pull the script from 4.1.5 and if so, which part of which script would that be? I'm sure it's in there somewhere but I cannot for the life of me figure out where. It's probably obvious and I've just been scrolling right past it for hours now but any help would be greatly appreciated. :oops:

Based on what I understand is that 4.5 is so different that many of the scripts (if not most) would no longer work. So I wouldn't try and drag any scripts from 4.1 into 4.5, as for the paths bit I cant really help you there, though I do remember seeing some posts about paths and 4.5 in the forums a while back. Wouldn't hurt to give it a search.

If using a NON-scrolling module, you can set the "doGetPathInfo.asm" script to the "Handle Path Data", like this:

Thank you dale_coop, paths are now working!
And also thank you PasseGaming. That's good info to have about the script compatibility. I need to read up on what's changed between 4.1 and 4.5.

Update: I just added the script to my Input Scripts (which I see is incorrect now), I am not sure how to add it to the Handle Path Data. Would you mind walking me through that?

Update: Update: I figured it out, LOL. I was trying to edit the script in the Scripts tab on the left hand side, when I needed to edit the script in the Project Settings.... my bad.

Thanks for the help, all is well now!

Paths are not compatible with scrolling modules, unfortunately.
You could try making them work in static screens, but is there much point in doing that?
