* completely scriptified DehackedPickup and FakeInventory.
* scriptified all remaining virtual functions of Inventory, so that its inheritance is now 100% script-side.
* scriptified CallTryPickup and most of the code called by that.
- fixed: Passing local variables by reference did not work in the VM.
The entire setup was quite broken with each item using its own activation result and the ones of the subsequent items in the list as the return value.
This rendered the STANDSTILL check in the main function totally unpredictable because the value it depended on could come from any item in the list.
Changed it so that the main dispatcher function is part of sector_t and does the stepping through the list iteratively instead of letting each item recursively call its successor and let this function decide for each item alone whether it should be removed.
The broken setup also had the effect that any MusicChanger would trigger all following SecActEnter specials right on msp start.
No need to maintain these clunky meta class for one single property. The overhead the mere existence of this class creates is far more than 100 spawned ammo items would cost.
There is no need to serialize AAmmo::DropAmount, this value has no meaning on an already spawned item.
It is utterly pointless to require every function that wants to make a VM call to allocate a new stack first. The allocation overhead doubles the time to set up the call.
With one stack, previously allocated memory can be reused. The only important thing is, if this ever gets used in a multithreaded environment to have the stack being declared as thread_local, although for ZDoom this is of no consequence.
- eliminated all cases where native code was calling other native code through the VM interface. After scriptifying the game code, only 5 places were left which were quickly eliminated. This was mostly to ensure that the native VM function parameters do not need to be propagated further than absolutely necessary.
- cleaned up the virtual function interface of APlayerPawn which still had many virtual declarations from old times when class properties were handled through virtual overrides. None of this makes sense these days anymore.
- merged the FrontBlock searcher for the Bloodscourge into RoughMonsterSearch. This also fixes the bug that the searcher was not initialized properly for the MageBoss.
- instead add a list of SpecialInits to VMScriptFunction so this can be done transparently when setting up and popping the stack frame. The only drawback is that this requires permanent allocation of stack objects for the entire lifetime of a function but this is a relatively small tradeoff for significantly reduced maintenance work throughout.
- removed most #include "vm.h", because nearly all files already pull this in through dobject.h.
- added a DActorIterator class.
- fixed: It was not possible to have functions of the same name in two different classes because the name they were searched for was not qualified by the class. Changed so that the class name is included now, but to avoid renaming several hundreds of functions all at once, if the search fails, it will repeat with 'Actor' as class name.
This commit contains preparations for scriptifying Hexen's Dragon, but that doesn't work yet so it's not included.
- added support for global variables to the code generator - not the compiler, though. For the handful of entries this is needed for it may just as well be done manually. So far FLevelLocals level is the only one being exported.
- fixed: The VM disassembler truncated 64 bit pointers to 15 digits because the output buffer was too small.
- resolve entire FxSequences instead of aborting on the first failed entry. This allows to output all errors at once.
- swapped parameters of two-parameter VelToAngle method, so that internal and script version are in line.
- fixed parameter asserts to handle NULL pointers properly.
- fixed: Script functions did not receive the function name when being created.
- relaxed the asserts for PARAM_STATE, because the VM knows nothing about ATAG_STATE. Any state variable's content (e.g. Actor.SeeState) will receive ATAG_GENERIC, rather than ATAG_STATE.
- added a 'NeedResult' flag so that certain operations can create shorter code if the result of the expression is not needed. So far only used for postdecrement/increment statements on local variables (which is the most frequent case where this matters.)
- fixed postincrement and decrement for local variables. Due to the result preservation semantics it created faulty code.
- removed 'self' as a dedicated token. Internally this gets handled as a normal but implicitly named variable so the token just gets in the way of proper processing.
- removed P_ prefix from SpawnMissile export.
- fixed a crash with misnamed function exports.
- fixed emission of the self pointer in FxVMFunctionCall. I did not realize that the self expression only sets up a register for the value, not pushing it onto the stack.
* everything related to scripting is now placed in a subdirectory 'scripting', which itself is separated into DECORATE, ZSCRIPT, the VM and code generation.
* a few items have been moved to different headers so that the DECORATE parser definitions can mostly be kept local. The only exception at the moment is the flags interface on which 3 source files depend.
- This reverts commit 06216d733e.
- I don't know what I was thinking. Since stateowner is always available
to the wrapper function, and this code is only generated for the wrapper
function, it's a nonissue. The state is already located before calling
any function that uses it.
- This reverts commit 39df62b20e.
- Anything that needs to lookup a state also needs stateowner. See
FxMultiNameState::Emit(). I will need to be more selective when
de-actionifying functions.
- An actor function really only needs to be an action function if:
1. It can be called with no parameters specified, either because it takes
none or because all its parameters are optional. This lets SetState()
call it directly without creating a wrapper function for it.
2. It wants access to the callingstate or stateowner parameters. Most
functions don't care about them, so passing them is superfluous.
- replaced some uses of FRACUNIT with OPAQUE when it was about translucency.
- simplified some overly complicated translucency multiplications in the SBARINFO code.
- Converted P_MovePlayer and all associated variables to floating point because this wasn't working well with a mixture between float and fixed.
Like the angle commit this has just been patched up to compile, the bulk of work is yet to be done.
Patched up everything so that it compiles without errors again. This only addresses code related to some compile error. A large portion of the angle code still uses angle_t and converts back and forth.
To allow processing the hit through an arbitrary portal without reference to the portal group table, P_AimLineAttack and P_LineAttack need to pass some more info than just the linetarget.
We need the relative positions of shooter and target within the visual reference of the other to calculate proper angles and we need to know if such a portal was crossed at all, because a few things, e.g. seeker missiles won't work with them.
- fixed setup of target acquisition for the Mage Staff.
The pre-acquired seeker target was never passed to the spawned projectiles.
* Arch-Vile resurrection
* Boom point pushers (due to complete lack of z-handling only for line portals.)
* A_RadiusGive
These also require a more thorough collection of portal groups than simple position checks.
* removed all code for dealing with z-displacing portals in the iterator loops. This would cause too many problems so I decided to scrap any provisions for allowing interactive portals with z-displacement. They will remain restricted to pure teleporter portals.
* changed spechit to carry a position along with the special line. If something is activated through an interactive portal this is needed to calculate movement.
* pass the abovementioned position to CheckForPushSpecial.
* collect touched portal lines in a second array analogous to spechit.
* use FMultiBlockThingsIterator in P_TestMobjZ.
A big problem with this function was that some flags required setting up some variables before calling it and others did not. It will now set everything up itself so all initializations to AActor::floorz and ceilingz that were made before these calls (which were all identical to begin with) could be removed and the internal initialization logic streamlined.
- removed Plane/Floor/CeilingAtPoint functions because they are overkill for the problem they were meant to solve. Calling ZatPoint with adjusted coordinates created with AActor::PosRelative is just as easy in the few places where this is needed.
- made P_HitWater and P_CheckSplash portal aware.
