Thinkers are always part of a level if they are linked and active, so this reference needs to be kept so that a thinker can unlink itself on destruction.
It may be a bit tricky to separate per-session and per-level actions here - for now only the sound resuming has been moved because that cannot be done per level.
This time there was one important exported script function: Actor.Spawn.
Since this will require a level pointer in the new scheme of things the old version had to be deprecated, because it is static with no argument that allows retrieving the level. However, since this is probably one of the most widely used functions I added a workaround to let it continue to work if used from inside an actor class, which should constitute >95% of all uses. This required a little bit of hackery in the compiler backend to swap out the function if appropriate.
Aside from that there were 5 places in the internal ZScript that needed handling, which mostly consisted of making a formerly static internal function non-static.
- upload only the dynamic AABB subtree using glBufferSubData
- change internal raytracing stack limit from 16 to 32
- update shadowmap AABB tree after R_SetupFrame for proper frame interpolation
Unlike the other classes, the places where variables from this class were accessed were quite scattered so there isn't much scriptified code. Instead, most of these places are now using the script variable access methods.
This was the last remaining subclass of AActor, meaning that class Actor can now be opened for user-side extensions.
This was the only code using the ViewBob member variable.
This also moves the range check for this variable to its application, because a badly behaved mod can just as easily change it at run time instead of just setting an absurdly large value in the class definition.
The current behaviour offsets to the front of the actor rather than the side, due to an oversight in the code, which oddly is not present in the A_FireBullets equivalent.
This should be less of a drag on the playsim than having each light a separate actor. A quick check with ZDCMP2 showed that the light processing time was reduced to 1/3rd from 0.5 ms to 0.17 ms per tic.
It's also one native actor class less.
The loop never checked if the item was still valid and would continue to try to use it, even after it was removed from the inventory and destroyed.
As native code this just failed silently, but with the VM it needs to be explicitly checked.
Add 'useowncoloradd_{top,mid,bottom}' sidedef properties to the UDMF
spec
Only use side's additive colors if 'useowncoloradd_(top|mid|bottom)' is
set.
Rename UseOwnColors flag to UseOwnSpecialColors
Add UseOwnAdditiveColor flag to side_t::part
Add EnableAdditiveColor to side_t
Add Side.EnableAdditiveColor to ZScript API
