How do I create a polygon region cause I can't find it, I can only find how to create a box and circular region.

In the scene editor, if you right click the create region symbol it should show the options, box, circle and polygon.

That's weird. I was working with polygons yesterday and now I can't find them in regions.

Edit: I think maybe you have to have a polygon shaped actor present in the scene to work with them, or you can create the region yourself in Events. :)

Good to know. That is the other difference in the project I was working with yesterday and the one I was doing today.

We're very excited about the new engine, which will get rid of most of the platform incompatibilities like this.

There are quite a few exceptions such as this (i.e. no custom polygonal regions on iOS).

Is there a list of these exceptions / differences somewhere?

If not, I think it would be a good idea to formally list them; it's so easy to waste a lot of time on these issues which, if documented could be avoided.
