- Includes four functions, A_SetSprite(Angle/Rotation) and GetSprite(Angle/Rotation).
- SpriteRotation offsets the angle of the sprite, allowing for actors to move backwards or sideways for example.
- SpriteAngle requires +SPRITEANGLE and sets the actor's sprite to the absolute rotation found at that angle. Overrides SpriteRotation once the flag is on.
- Clears a set of overlays in ranges [start,stop]. If unspecified, wipes all non-hardcoded layers. Safety determines whether to affect core layers or not (i.e. weapon). Returns the number of layers cleared.
Added no override boolean to A_Overlay and a boolean return type.
- If true, and a layer already has an active layer, the function returns false. Otherwise, sets the layer and returns true.
SPF_NOTIMEFREEZE processes particles with this flag regardless of time freeze. The endsize parameter changes the scale of the particle to that size throughout its lifetime linearly.
- Source is the actor to blame for the cause of damage (monster infighting for example). For missiles, modders should consider setting to AAPTR_TARGET.
- Inflictor is the actor doing the damage itself. Note that by changing this, it will take into account the flags on the pointed actor.
- Places the weapon offset by the defined x and y. Both are floats. This stacks with weapon bobbing.
- WOF_KEEPX: Don't change the X offset.
- WOF_KEEPY: Don't change the Y offset.
- WOF_ADD: Add onto instead of replacing the coordinates.
- float GetZAt(x, y, angle, flags, pick_pointer);
- Gets the floor z at x distance ahead and y distance to the side in relative form from the calling actor pointer. Flags are as follows (GZF_ prefix):
- CEILING: Returns the ceiling z instead of floor.
- ABSOLUTEPOS: x and y are absolute positions.
- ABSOLUTEANG: angle parameter does not add the pointer's angle to the angle parameter.
- FLATSPRITE: An actor becomes flat as if they were a decal on the floor.
- PITCHFLATSPRITE: A flat sprite tilts up and down based on pitch.
- WALLSPRITE: Similar to a Y billboarded sprite. The degree of the flattening is determined by the FlatAngle property.
- ROLLSPRITE: The sprite of the actor is affected by the Roll property.
The scripting branch changed camera semantics to default to an actor's center - which for monsters and decorations makes sense - but not for simple mapspots that get used as camera. For those the CameraHeight must be explicitly set to 0.
