- some optimization of access to OwnedStates in old DECORATE.
- consolidate all places that print a state name into a subfunction.
- allocate states from the ClassDataAllocator memory arena. States do not need to be freed separately from the rest of the static class data.
This is an incredibly costly way to do a debug check as it infests the entire VM design from top to bottom. These tags are basically useless for anything else but validating object pointers being passed to native functions (i.e. mismatches between definition and declaration) and that simply does not justify a feature that costs execution time in non-debug builds and added memory overhead everywhere.
Note that this commit does not remove the tags, it only discontinues their use.
This required splitting A_CallSpecial into a direct wrapper around P_ExecuteSpecial and implementing itself as a script function calling ExecuteSpecial so that this special case can use a version of the function that can be used without an activator.
- fixed the return type checks in CallStateChain. These made some bogus assumptions about what return prototypes to support and would have skipped any multi-return function whose first argument was actually usable.
- improved the class pointer to string cast to print the actual type it describes and not the class pointer's own type.
- fixed: The 'is' operator created non-working code when checking the inheritance of a class pointer, it only worked for objects.
- support transient object member variables for information that does not need to be put in a savegame.
- fixed: special initialization of objects needs to pass the proper defaults along, otherwise the parent classes will use their own, inappropriate one.
If the calling code wants to recycle this it will have to pass a container variable to AActor::UnlinkFromWorld and AActor::LinkToWorld.
This was changed because keeping such data in a global variable is dangerous for a set of functions that can be called from a script.
Note that the scripted versions do not yet support saving of the touching_sectorlist.
- A_CustomRailgun when missing the target.
- A_FaceMovementDirection which ironically had some bad compensation inside. It is not restored to how the code looked in 2.8.1.
This function calculated everything correctly but ultimately set the vertical velocity wrong. Most importantly this meant that the actual velocity vector and actor pitch - if CMF_SAVEPITCH was used - did not match.
Since this bug has been present since the pitch parameter was added, this deprecates A_CustomMissile and replaces it with a properly implemented A_SpawnProjectile function and handling the compatibility case with a new flag and a scripted wrapper function.
All internal uses of A_CustomMissile have been replaced as well.
