This can be done with a lot less overhead by using one of the object's properties to store the activation flag, so that all the nearly redundant trigger methods can be folded into one.
- made ModifyDamage calls iterative instead of recursive. With going through the VM they'd be too costly otherwise.
- small optimization: Detect empty VM functions right when entering the VM and shortcut them. This is to reduce the overhead of virtual placeholders, which in a few cases (e.g. CanCollideWith and ModifyDamage) can be called quite frequently.
- made some changes to PowerMorph to better deal with recursive calls from UndoPlayerMorph. The flag hackery was only needed because the 'alternative' pointers were cleared far too late.
- fixed PARAM_ACTION_PROLOGUE to assign correct types to the implicit pointers. It gave the actual class to the wrong one, which until now did not matter because all functions were using 'Actor', regardless of actual class association.
- fixed the definition of IceChunk and removed some redundant code here. Since A_FreezeDeathChunks already calls SetState, which in turn calls the state's action function, there is no need to call it again explicitly.
- added call wrappers and script hooks for all relevant virtuals in AInventory.
- made GetSpeedFactor and GetNoTeleportFreeze entirely scripted because they are too trivial - also do them iteratively, just like HandlePickup, because it's just a better way to do this stuff.
- moved health items to their own file.
- scriptified ScoreItem and MapRevealer whose entire functionality was a small TryPickup method.
- fixed: bit fields in global variables were not correctly written.
This should conclude the inventory cleanup. It is now possible again to find things in there.
- 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.
- Changed the glass shards so that they do not have to override FloorBounceMissile. It was the only place where this was virtually overridden and provided little usefulness.
- made 'out' variables work.
- fixed virtual call handling for HandlePickup.
- added a String class to allow attaching methods to the builtin string type. This works by checking if the left side of the member accessor is a string and just replacing the tyoe in this one place, all the rest is automatic.
- fixed issues with the refactoring of the recent commits. This one starts again.
- added builtins for TextureID.
Note about builtins: Currently they are just hacked into the compiler backend. They really should be made part of the respective types to keep matters clean and allow more widespread use of builtins to create more efficient code.
