- This is an effort to emphasize that these are just type casts. Now they
look like function-style casts with no action function styling.
They do no magic joojoo at all. The only reason they exist is because
the DECORATE parser can only parse return statements that call a
function, so these satisfy that requirement. i.e. *return int(666);* is
identical to *return 666;* (if the parser could handle the latter).
- Since DECORATE's return statement can only return the results of
function calls (I do not want to spend the time necessary to make it
return arbitrary expressions), here are three functions to get around
this limitation:
* A_State - Returns the state passed to it. You can simulate A_Jump
functions with this.
* A_Int - Returns the int passed to it.
* A_Bool - Returns the bool passed to it.
- e.g. If you want to return the number 3, you use this:
return A_Int(3);
If you want to jump to a different state, you use this:
return A_State("SomeState");
- The A_Jump family of action functions now return the state to jump
to (NULL if no jump is to be taken) instead of jumping directly.
It is the caller's responsibility to handle the jump. This will
make it possible to use their results in if statements and
do something other than jump.
- DECORATE return statements can now return the result of a function
(but not any random expression--it must be a function call). To
make a jump happen from inside a multi-action block, you must
return the value of an A_Jump function. e.g.:
{ return A_Jump(128, "SomeState"); }
- The VMFunction class now contains its prototype instead of storing
it at a higher level in PFunction. This is so that
FState::CallAction can easily tell if a function returns a state.
- Removed the FxTailable class because with explicit return
statements, it's not useful anymore.
- SPF_FULLBRIGHT makes the particle full bright.
- SPF_RELATIVE encapsulates the following flags:
- SPF_RELPOS: Position is relative to angle.
- SPF_RELVEL: Velocity is relative to angle.
- SPF_RELACCEL: Acceleration is relative to angle.
- SPF_RELANG: Add caller's angle to angle parameter for relativity.
- CHF_STOPIFBLOCKED simply prevents the actor from changing directions for movement.
- CHF_DONTTURN implies NORANDOMTURN, NOPOSTATTACKTURN and STOPIFBLOCKED.
- CHF_NORANDOMTURN: Actor will not randomly turn during chasing to pursue its target. It will only turn if it cannot keep moving forward.
- CHF_DONTANGLE: Actor does not adjust its angle to match the movement direction.
- CHF_NOPOSTATTACKTURN: Actor will not make its first turn after exiting its attacks.
- NODISTANCE: Disables distance checking.
- CHECKSIGHT: The qualifying actor must be in sight in order to count.
- SET<TARGET/MASTER/TRACER>: Gets the first qualifying actor and sets the calling actor's specified pointer to it.
- SETONPTR: If the function is being aimed at another actor other than the caller, sets that actor's pointers instead. Requires a SET* flag to work.
- FARTHEST: The actor farthest from the checking actor is set as the pointer. Requires a SET* flag to work.
- CLOSEST: The closest qualifying actor is set as the pointer. Requires a SET* flag to work.
- Checks to see if a certain actor class, in numbers, is close to the actor/pointer via distance, based upon count. Can check for ancestry, disable Z searching, perform less than or equal to instead of greater or equal to, exact counts, check a pointer instead of itself and differentiate between live monsters and dead.
- Now includes anglelimit and pitchlimit.
- Anglelimit and pitchlimit only allows the actor to turn this much, similar to A_FaceTarget's limit. FVF_RESETPITCH also respects the pitch limit.
- (offset, anglelimit, pitchlimit, flags, ptr)
- Changes the caller's angle and pitch according to the direction of velocity they're travelling.
- FVF_NOPITCH and FVF_NOANGLE disable changing of pitch/angle respectively and should be counted as mutually exclusive, or the function does nothing.
- FVF_INTERPOLATE - Interpolate's the angle and pitch changes.
- FVF_RESETPITCH will, if there's no z velocity, reset the pitch to 0. Otherwise, the pitch remains unchanged.
- Added 'threshold' and 'defthreshold' to DECORATE expression exposure.
- ChaseThreshold sets the default threshold for how long a monster must chase one target before it can switch targets. Default is 100, must not be negative.
- A_SetChaseThreshold can be used to alter the current or default threshold of an actor <pointer>.
- Changing current threshold has no effect on what the default will be once it hits 0 and something makes it infight with another.
- Performs a jump if an actor or a line is in the way.
- Can be used without a jump state if the desire is only to have a pointer change.
- CBF_NOLINES disables jumping if a line is involved.
- CBF_SET* flags set the target, master or tracer to whoever is blocking, for the actor calling the function.
- CBF_SETONPTR causes the pointer changing flags to apply to the pointed actor instead of itself.
- RadiusOffset is a multiplier of the target actor's radius added onto the offsets x and y.
- Pitch is added to the warping actor's current pitch, provided WARPF_USEPITCH is supplied.
- Fixed WARPF_TOFLOOR not working as intended.
- Actors must be this far away to receive items. Mindist must be less than distance.
- Fixed RGF_OBJECTS not discriminating players and monsters from shootable or vulnerable actors.
This was implemented by adding a new inventory flag INVENTORY.NOTELEPORTFREEZE so that the effect can both be activated for other items and deactivated for the two that currently have it.
- WARPF_ADDHEIGHT adds the pointed actor's height to heightoffset, and adds to the pointed actor's z position.
- WARPF_MULHEIGHT multiplies the pointed actor's height by heightoffset, and adds to the pointed actor's z position. Overridden by ADDHEIGHT.
- Added filter and species parameter.
- Added new flags: RGF_INCLUSIVE, RGF_ITEMS, RGF_KILLED, RGF_EXFILTER, RGF_EXSPECIES, and RGF_EITHER.
- RGF_ITEMS: Items can receive inventory.
- RGF_KILLED: Actors who are truly dead might not be corpses, and vice versa.
- RGF_EXFILTER: Blacklists the specified actor filter. All but the filtered actor can receive the item.
- RGF_EXSPECIES: Blacklists the specified species. All but the filtered species can receive the item.
- RGF_EITHER: The actor can receive the item if it satisfies either the filter or the species. Only useful when both are used.
- RGF_INCLUSIVE: An actor marked as more than one pointer to the calling actor can ignore the exclusion pointers, but only if at least one is missing. I.e. an actor who is a target and tracer of the calling actor can still receive the item, if the calling actor doesn't pass RGF_NOTARGET and NOTRACER at the same time. RGF_INCLUSIVE only works with the pointer filtering flags. By default, if not specified, the actor will not be loopholed the item if they are under any one of the three filters.
- Fixed discrepancies and dependencies upon several flags and actor conditions which caused the function to fail.
- Overrides the NOTELEPORT flag so actors with velocity don't need to disable it in order to perform A_Teleport, which could be screwed up by a teleporting line or sudden ACS interference.
- Ensure that the result is set to false if it fails prematurely. Wasn't sure if this was needed, but with the upcoming if/else statements, better safe than sorry.
