Following on from the addition of OccluderShapeSphere in 3.4 , lawnjelly now brings us a more adaptable and easy way to add basic occlusion culling in the form of the OccluderShapePolygon. Anything behind the polygon will be culled from view. Core: Fix platform-specific issues with OS.set_current_screen() ( GH-63192 ).
