Needless to say, this is simply too volatile and would require constant active maintenance, not to mention a huge amount of work up front to get going.
It also hid a nasty problem with the Destroy method. Due to the way the garbage collector works, Destroy cannot be exposed to scripts as-is. It may be called from scripts but it may not be overridden from scripts because the garbage collector can call this function after all data needed for calling a scripted override has already been destroyed because if that data is also being collected there is no guarantee that proper order of destruction is observed. So for now Destroy is just a normal native method to scripted classes
- made APlayerPawn::PlayAttacking(2) virtual script functions so that mods have better control over player animations. Note that these have no native base so they skip the templated interface for managing virtual functions.
- instead add a list of SpecialInits to VMScriptFunction so this can be done transparently when setting up and popping the stack frame. The only drawback is that this requires permanent allocation of stack objects for the entire lifetime of a function but this is a relatively small tradeoff for significantly reduced maintenance work throughout.
- removed most #include "vm.h", because nearly all files already pull this in through dobject.h.
This could cause problems with functions that take states as parameters but use them to set them internally instead of passing them through the A_Jump interface back to the caller, like A_Chase or A_LookEx.
This required some quite significant refactoring because the entire state resolution logic had been baked into the compiler which turned out to be a major maintenance problem.
Fixed this by adding a new builtin type 'statelabel'. This is an opaque identifier representing a state, with the actual data either directly encoded into the number for single label state or an index into a state information table.
The state resolution is now the task of the called function as it should always have remained. Note, that this required giving back the 'action' qualifier to most state jumping functions.
- refactored most A_Jump checkers to a two stage setup with a pure checker that returns a boolean and a scripted A_Jump wrapper, for some simpler checks the checker function was entirely omitted and calculated inline in the A_Jump function. It is strongly recommended to use the boolean checkers unless using an inline function invocation in a state as they lead to vastly clearer code and offer more flexibility.
- let Min() and Max() use the OP_MIN and OP_MAX opcodes. Although these were present, these function were implemented using some grossly inefficient branching tests.
- the DECORATE 'state' cast kludge will now actually call ResolveState because a state label is not a state and needs conversion.
* everything related to scripting is now placed in a subdirectory 'scripting', which itself is separated into DECORATE, ZSCRIPT, the VM and code generation.
* a few items have been moved to different headers so that the DECORATE parser definitions can mostly be kept local. The only exception at the moment is the flags interface on which 3 source files depend.
In this case the PSprite animation won't be changed, only the ReadyWeapon. But in order to work, the PSprite's caller needs to change as well so that the next weapon check does not fail.
To allow processing the hit through an arbitrary portal without reference to the portal group table, P_AimLineAttack and P_LineAttack need to pass some more info than just the linetarget.
We need the relative positions of shooter and target within the visual reference of the other to calculate proper angles and we need to know if such a portal was crossed at all, because a few things, e.g. seeker missiles won't work with them.
- fixed setup of target acquisition for the Mage Staff.
The pre-acquired seeker target was never passed to the spawned projectiles.
- Added new sprite #### and frame character # to specify the behavior of sprite ---- on a
per-sprite and per-frame basis respectively.

a different default terrain than a generic solid surface.
- added format char processing to A_Print(Bold) and all printable messages
that can be defined in DECORATE.
- Fixed: The railgun code ignored MF3_ALWAYSPUFF.
- added desaturated translations.
- added optional state parameters to A_ReFire and A_GunFlash and A_CountdownArg.

* WRF_NOBOB (1): Weapon won't bob
* WRF_NOFIRE (12): Weapon won't fire at all
* WRF_NOSWITCH (2): Weapon can't be switched off
* WRF_NOPRIMARY (4): Weapon will not fire its main attack
* WRF_NOSECONDARY (8): Weapon will not fire its alt attack

- Changed the definition of several typedef'd structs so that they are
properly named.
- Limited DEHSUPP lump lookup to search zdoom.pk3 only. It will no longer
be possible to load DEHSUPP lumps from user WADs.
- Brought back the text-based DEHSUPP parser and changed it to be able to
reference states by label. Also changed label names of
DoomUnusedStates and added proper labels to all states that were
previously forced to be the first state of an actor so that the old
(limited) method could access them. This was done to address the following
bug:
- Fixed: The player's death states calling A_PlayerSkinCheck should not be
part of the state set that is accessible by Dehacked. These will produce
error messages when mapped to non-players.

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.
