- Source is the actor to blame for the cause of damage (monster infighting for example). For missiles, modders should consider setting to AAPTR_TARGET.
- Inflictor is the actor doing the damage itself. Note that by changing this, it will take into account the flags on the pointed actor.
- float GetZAt(x, y, angle, flags, pick_pointer);
- Gets the floor z at x distance ahead and y distance to the side in relative form from the calling actor pointer. Flags are as follows (GZF_ prefix):
- CEILING: Returns the ceiling z instead of floor.
- ABSOLUTEPOS: x and y are absolute positions.
- ABSOLUTEANG: angle parameter does not add the pointer's angle to the angle parameter.
As it turned out this has been broken for many, many years, so one can assume that most content using this function depends on this special case not working. I could track it down to at least 2008.
- This reverts commit 06216d733e.
- I don't know what I was thinking. Since stateowner is always available
to the wrapper function, and this code is only generated for the wrapper
function, it's a nonissue. The state is already located before calling
any function that uses it.
- This reverts commit 39df62b20e.
- Anything that needs to lookup a state also needs stateowner. See
FxMultiNameState::Emit(). I will need to be more selective when
de-actionifying functions.
- An actor function really only needs to be an action function if:
1. It can be called with no parameters specified, either because it takes
none or because all its parameters are optional. This lets SetState()
call it directly without creating a wrapper function for it.
2. It wants access to the callingstate or stateowner parameters. Most
functions don't care about them, so passing them is superfluous.
- Includes 2 flags, affixed by CBF_: AbsolutePos, and AbsoluteAngle.
- AbsolutePos: Absolute position of where to check.
- AbsoluteAngle: Angle parameter is used as is, not added onto the actor's current angle.
* Added falloff parameter to A_QuakeEx.
- Treated just like A_Explode's 'fullradiusdamage' parameter, where the quake will fall off from this distance on out to the edge. Default is 0, which means no falloff.
- Credits to MaxED and Michaelis for helping.
* - Added HighPoint parameter to QuakeEx.
- Allows fine tuning of where the quake's maximum or minimum occurs, in tics. This must be a range between [1, duration).
- For up or down scaling quakes, this sets the quake to reach maximum sooner or start minimizing later.
- For both, this indicates when the strongest will occur. Default is 0, or in the middle.
The original commits were nearly impossible to find in the convoluted commit tree, so I think it's preferable to have one clean commit instead.
