- 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.
