This was always used with 'consoleplayer' which really is the only thing making sense here. But this is a part of the global state which should be avoided in play code.
In particular, this makes no real sense in case of secondary maps where it should always return false.
When player is picked up item that does morph, the corresponding toucher actor is changed in process
Previously, morhing item was removed from original actor leaving player's inventory in inconsistent state

This was the last bit of code standing in the way of making AInventory a fully scripted class.
All that's left to sort out is some variable accesses - the vast majority of them in SBARINFO.
Instead of overriding the Massacre method it is preferable to clear the flags causing the bad behavior, most notably ISMONSTER.

Now a child type can decide for itself how to treat 'amount'.
The scripting interfaces to this function in ACS and FraggleScript have been consolidated and also scriptified.
- replaced Inventory.DrawPowerup with a GetPowerupIcon method so that the calling code can handle the drawing and apply its own rules. This was a major design flaw of allowing the inventory items to handle the drawing themselves, because they were unable to adjust to different HUD frontends. Note that any mod that overrides DrawPowerup will not draw any icon that expects to be handled that way!
- the alternative HUD now has its own, separate drawer that obeys the AltHUD's rules, and not the ones of the normal fullscreen HUD.
- the standard drawer has been scriptified as a virtual function.
- Both drawers now handle positioning of the icon inside its assigned box themselves instead of trusting the powerup item to do it correctly.
- DTA_HUDRules and Screen.DrawHUDTexture are to be considered deprecated because both do not integrate into the redesigned HUD code.
Note that the Strife status bar does not draw the health bars yet. I tried to replace the hacky custom texture with a single fill operation but had to find out that all the coordinate mangling for the status bar is being done deep in the video code. This needs to be fixed before this can be made to work.
Currently this is not usable in mods because they cannot initialize custom status bars yet.
This should for now conclude actor class scriptification. The remaining ten classes with the exception of MorphedMonster are all too essential or too closely tied to engine feature so they should remain native.
* 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.
- fixed: ClearInventory did not process depleted items properly.
- changed HexenArmor from UNDROPPABLE to UNTOSSABLE because this allowed to remove some special handling in ClearInventory. The only other place which checks this flag also checks UNTOSSABLE.
- ensure that actor defaults contain a valid virtual table and class pointer so that they can actually use virtual and class-dependent method functions. This is needed for retrieving script variables from them.
- added some helpers to set scripted member variables through the native property parser.
Unfortunately some classes, e.g. PowerMorph, MorphProjectile and the powerup contain some that cannot be handled through the 'property' definition on the script side so they need to be done from the native side.
