- When using both scaling flags, by default, the effect only reaches half peak going either way. This forces it to go all the way to the top (or bottom if using QF_MAX) before scaling back to its original height..
- QF_SCALEUP behaves like QF_SCALEDOWN: it gradually scales the tremors, only going upwards.
- QF_SCALEUP and QF_SCALEDOWN can be combined to make an earthquake that gradually smoothes in and out.
- QF_MAX can be used to invert this behavior, where it starts at the peak of the amplitude, fades out half way, and then grows back to maximum.
- Unlocks the full potential of using quakes, including the Z axis. Each intensity applies to X/Y/Z planes whenever a player is experiencing it.
- Flags:
- QF_RELATIVE - Adjusts the quaking of the camera to go in the direction its aiming (X: forward/backward. Y: Left/right.)
- Plans for including pitch will be implemented in the future for the Z axis with relativity.
I have no idea why this was ever deemed proper - but it clearly breaks some Hexen maps and it not even remotely mimics the original behavior. Even now, it's not the same but since the items fall down they at least end up where they are supposed to be.
- ang_offset: the extra angle to apply to the actor after calculating the maximum turn.
- pitch_offset: Just like ang_offset, with pitch instead.
- FAF_BOTTOM: Aim straight for the actor's z coordinate, not with +32 units.
- FAF_MIDDLE: Aims for the direct middle of the actor.
- FAF_TOP: Aims for the very top of the actor.
- FAF_NODISTFACTOR: Use the raw pitch offset without calculating it into the distance of the aimed actor.
- The error "You cannot pass parameters to..." used the most recent token,
which was always ( and not the function name. (Note that this was
already fixed in the scripting branch, so this is probably going to be a
conflict. Meh.)
- Added A_Warp flags:
- WARPF_BOB: Gets the bob offset of actor pointer with the FLOATBOB flag.
- WARPF_MOVEPTR: The function is inversed to move the pointed actor with applied flags, but only the original caller will make the success/jump.
- Rippers will rip through anything with an equivalent ripper level, or if their level is between or on the min and max ranges.
- If no min or max is defined, it simply checks if the monster's ripper level is lower than the missiles.
- Functions: A_SetRipperLevel(int level), A_SetRipMin(int min), A_SetRipMax(int max)
- Properties: RipperLevel, RipLevelMin, and RipLevelMax.
- RipperLevel: Applicable to monsters and projectiles.
- RipLevelMin and RipLevelMax are only useful on monsters.
- By default, all are 0.
- Do a filter and species check first to save time.
- Added DMSS/KILS/RMVF_EITHER, which means if the actor is of type or species, it counts.
- A_DamageTarget(20,"Normal",DMSS_EITHER,"DoomImp","CyberdemonSpecies")
- This affects actor DoomImp, and anything that's of species CyberdemonSpecies.
- Added a little more documentation via comments.
- Added two more flags for each of the functions, EXFILTER and EXSPECIES.
- Stands for "exclude filter/species" and makes the function not take them into account.
- Cleaned up the code and placed all the checking in their own subfunctions.
- The wiki said the minimum distance to teleport defaults to 0, actor.txt on the other hand said otherwise. I was wondering why it was still broken somewhat...
- Prevent stickiness from happening, a.k.a. getting stuck in ceiling or floor and letting the engine unstick the actor. This caused velocity loss.
- TF_KEEPVELOCITY: Keep the velocity after teleporting.
- TF_KEEPANGLE: Don't use the special spot's angle.
- TF_USESPOTZ: Normally, this function
- TF_NOSRCFOG: Don't leave fog at the previous location.
- TF_NODESTFOG: Don't leave fog at the arriving location.
- TF_USEACTORFOG: Use the actor's TeleFogSourceType and TeleFogDestType properties.
- TF_NOJUMP: Don't require or cause a jump. In this case, put 0 (or "") in for the jump destination when using CustomInventory items to teleport actors around.
- New properties include TeleFogSourceType and TeleFogDestType.
- TeleFogSourceType is the fog left behind where the actor teleported away from.
- TeleFogDestType is the fog the actor sees when it arrives at its destination.
- Added A_SetTeleFog(<oldpos>,<newpos>) -- oldpos sets TeleFogSourceType, newpos sets TeleFogDestType.
- CLOFF_SETTARGET | CLOFF_SETMASTER | CLOFF_SETTRACER
- An actor that causes A_CheckLOF (and only an actor) to succeed will set the intercepting actor as its target, master, and/or tracer, respectively.
- FTF_REMOVE: Removes the actor when the alpha hits a certain level.
- - A_FadeIn - 1.0
- - A_FadeOut - 0.0
- - A_FadeTo - Alpha target level reached
- FTF_CLAMP: Automatically fixes the alpha so it won't leave the range [0.0, 1.0].
- Added: A_TakeFromChildren
- Added: A_GiveToSiblings
- Added: A_TakeFromSiblings
- Added the following flags for A_RadiusGive:
- RGF_NOSIGHT: Exclude sight check from distance.
- RGF_MISSILES: Missiles can take inventory items.
- RMVF_MISSILES removes missiles.
- RMVF_NOMONSTERS ignores monsters.
- RMVF_MISC includes non-monsters and missiles.
- RMVF_EVERYTHING disregards all checks and remove it.
These flags now apply to the following in addition to the new function:
-A_RemoveTarget
-A_RemoveMaster
-A_RemoveTracer
-A_RemoveChildren
-A_RemoveSiblings
- Added A_KillTarget(damagetype, int flags).
- Added A_KillTracer(damagetype, int flags).
- Added A_RemoveTarget.
- Added A_RemoveTracer.
A_Kill (Master/Target/Tracer/Children/Siblings):
- KILS_FOILINVUL: foils invulnerability.
- KILS_KILLMISSILES: destroys projectiles. Does not work on invulnerable
projectiles without KILS_FOILINVUL, and doesn't work at all on missiles
with NODAMAGE flag.
- KILS_NOMONSTERS: actors that are monsters will not be killed.
A_Damage (Self/Target/Master/Tracer/Children/Siblings):
- DMSS_FOILINVUL: foils invulnerability.
- DMSS_AFFECTARMOR: damages the actor's armor instead of bypassing it
entirely.
- DMSS_KILL: damages the actor by its remaining health (useful for
modular DECORATE programming).
- Added A_SpawnItemEx flags:
- SXF_SETTARGET: sets the calling actor as the target.
- SXF_SETTRACER: sets the calling actor as the tracer.
Both of these functions take priority similar to SXF_SETMASTER over
SXF_TRANSFERPOINTERS.
Namely, acolyte, shadow acolyte, reaver, stalker, and turret. Info on
which states needed the slow flag was obtained with Quasar's permission
by looking at G_InitNew() in g_game.c and the info.c state tables from
Chocolate Strife.
Also added fast flag to acolyte states that needed it, based on the same
source.
- Fixed: Heretic and Hexen completely skip all normal Z processing on
mobjs with FLOATBOB set. To emulate that, we need to add NOGRAVITY to
everything with that flag set.
