- This is an effort to emphasize that these are just type casts. Now they
look like function-style casts with no action function styling.
They do no magic joojoo at all. The only reason they exist is because
the DECORATE parser can only parse return statements that call a
function, so these satisfy that requirement. i.e. *return int(666);* is
identical to *return 666;* (if the parser could handle the latter).
- 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.
- So now you can do something like this for an action:
{
if (health > 1000)
{
A_Scream;
}
else
{
A_XScream;
}
}
Yes, the braces are required. Because I see too many instances where
somebody writes an if statement in ACS and doesn't understand why it
doesn't work right because they forgot braces.
- Fixed: Not actually putting an action between { and } would crash.
- You can now call several actions from one frame by grouping them between
curly braces. i.e. :
POSS G 3 { A_Pain; A_Log("Ow! That hurt!"); }
I will probably add an `if (something) { blah; blah; } else { wah; wah; }`
construct later, but that's the extent of the munging I plan for DECORATE. The
real work goes to the scripting language, not here. But if this branch is
getting merged to master sooner than later, here's an immediate benefit
from it right now.
- This replaces the general extensibility that had existed formerly
in thingdef_function.cpp. Parameter parsing for function calls is
shared with state parameter parsing. Functions are defined exactly in
the same way as action functions, but without the 'action' keyword.
- This all became vestigial code after the relevant information was all
moved into FStateTempCall. Now that the MBF code pointer code has been
converted, I can be sure it wasn't still used anywhere.
When set, the actor will run this state during its first tick. This means Spawn
states may now run an action function if you set this flag. Note that this action function
is executed during the actor's first tick, which is not the same as when it is spawned.
SVN r4240 (trunk)
POSS A 10 A_Look
You can define it as:
POSS A random(10,20) A_Look
and the state will last a random duration between 10 and 20 tics, inclusive.
SVN r3847 (trunk)
- Added new sprite #### and frame character # to specify the behavior of sprite ---- on a
per-sprite and per-frame basis respectively.
SVN r2291 (trunk)
running with the checked VM can be quite slow, since it has asserts everywhere. Some other
fixes were needed before the code actually worked:
- A_CallSpecial needs to have its arguments cast to ints.
- Some functions that set pnum/paramnum directly did not decrement it by 1. This also applies
to A_Jump, though it just uses the value of paramnum instead of changing it.
- Renamed pnum in the PARAM macros to paramnum, since pnum is already used in a few other
places for something different, so this makes searching for it easier.
This has not been tested especially thoroughly, but a first glance seems to indicate success.
SVN r2163 (scripting)
changing game code.
- made SpawningMapThing an argument of AActor::StaticSpawn instead of a global
variable.
- added a stub to the DECORATE parser for defining dynamic lights directly
in DECORATE. This is needed so that ZDoom remains compatible with any DECORATE
which uses this GZDoom feature in the future.
SVN r1935 (trunk)
Currently, they're only good for disassembly and pasting into a proper text editor
for viewing.
- Fixed some problems with the FxExpression emitters that were revealed by actually
using them on the standard actors.
SVN r1911 (scripting)
issues that caused its inclusion. Is an optimized GCC build any faster
for being able to use strict aliasing rules? I dunno. It's still slower
than a VC++ build.
I did run into two cases where TAutoSegIterator caused intractable problems
with breaking strict aliasing rules, so I removed the templating from it,
and the caller is now responsible for casting the probe value from void *.
- Removed #include "autosegs.h" from several files that did not need it
(in particular, dobject.h when not compiling with VC++).
SVN r1743 (trunk)
a player class selection menu and an episode menu.
- Fixed: AddToConsole could write outside its working buffer.
- Fixed: 0 was no longer recognized as placeholder for 'no state' in A_Chase.
- Fixed: When picking up weapons the code did not check if it should switch away
from weak weapons.
SVN r1332 (trunk)
which caused roundoff errors that made it less than 1/3 effective.
- Added support for "RRGGBB" strings to V_GetColor.
- Fixed: Desaturation maps for the TEXTURES lump were calculated incorrectly.
- Changed GetSpriteIndex to cache the last used sprite name so that the code
using this function doesn't have to do it itself.
- Moved some more code for the state parser into p_states.cpp.
- Fixed: TDeletingArray should not try to delete NULL pointers.
SVN r1312 (trunk)
parameters.
- All DECORATE parameters are passed as expressions now. This change allows
for compile time checks of all class names being used in DECORATE so many
incorrect definitions may output warnings now.
- Changed DECORATE sound and color parameters to use expressions.
- Changed: S_StopChannel now resets the actor's sound flags. The previous bug
made me think that delaying this until FMod calls the end of sound callback
may simply be too late.
SVN r1276 (trunk)
the NextState parameter is. The code did some rather unsafe checks with it
to determine its type.
- moved all state related code into a new file: p_states.cpp.
- merged all FindState functions. All the different variations are now inlined
and call the same function to do the real work.
SVN r1243 (trunk)
some changes to the MAPINFO parser which tried to access the texture manager
to check if the level name patches exist. That check had to be moved to
where the intermission screen is set up.
- Fixed: 'bloodcolor' ignored the first parameter value when given a list
of integers.
Please note that this creates an incompatibility between old and new
versions so if you want to create something that works with both 2.2.0
and current versions better use the string format version for the color
parameter!
- Rewrote the DECORATE property parser so that the parser is completely
separated from the property handlers. This should allow reuse of all
the handler code for a new format if Doomscript requires one.
- Fixed: PClass::InitializeActorInfo copied too many bytes if a subclass's
defaults were larger than the parent's.
- Moved A_ChangeFlag to thingdef_codeptr.cpp.
- Moved translation related code from thingdef_properties.cpp to r_translate.cpp
and rewrote the translation parser to use FScanner instead of strtol.
- replaced DECORATE's 'alpha default' by 'defaultalpha' for consistency.
Since this was never used outside zdoom.pk3 it's not critical.
- Removed support for game specific pickup messages because the only thing
this was ever used for - Raven's invulnerability item - has already been
split up into a Heretic and Hexen version.
SVN r1240 (trunk)
so that all files are included by a central one instead of compiling
each one separately. This speeds up the compilation process by 25%
when doing a complete rebuild in Visual C.
- Cleaned up more header dependencies.
SVN r1226 (trunk)
