The reason this was never added was the hard dependency on the line trigger types. This implements some modified logic that does not try to find all potential lifts in the map.
Also moving the MBF flags to compatflags so that they are easier to control by the user as these must be part of compatibility presets.
This way it can be directly used as a native ZScript export.
Like SuggestMissileAttack the change to a method was for virtual overrides that have been turned into flags since then.
* added handlers for the missing upper flags in the first flag word.
* refactored some code related to MF_BOUNCES to adapt to other flags' changes to avoid constant property updates for too many flags.
* treat anything with RF_ZDOOMTRANS as non-translucent for the purpose of the flag checks.
Due to how the MBF21 flag checkers work the first flag word may not repurpose any unused flags in it. We still need MF_SLIDE to be usable by them, despite being totally unused.
* a few shorter fields were moved into alignment gaps
* the visible angles are now stored as floats. Since these are only used for rendering the loss of precision is negligible, but this shortens AActor by 16 bytes alone.
This reverts commit 8fc9f1e5ef.
As I already feared, this does not work right. The entire linking/unlinking code is simply too fragile. So no protection here against inept tinkering.
Some people apparently have to toy around with the engine's innards without fully understanding them. :(
When properly used the saveguards should never be triggered.
* Add FALLDAMAGE flag and add property to properly apply falling damage to the monsters
* Change name of propermonsterdamage property to propermonsterfallingdamage
* Added ViewAngle/Pitch/Roll properties to actors.
- These are offsets for camera angles that allow turning the camera without affecting aim or movement direction.
- Added A_SetView<Angle/Pitch/Roll>, which will set the view direction.
- Added ABSVIEWANGLES flag, used to make the view absolute instead of an offset.
* Converted functions to be direct-native.
These were creating dangerous interdependencies. It is better to do explicit conversions when needed.
As an added plus, this means that zstring.h no longer depends on name.h which was very annoying.
This was only run on a state change and missed every external light change.
Any place which wants to flag a light change now only will set a flag and at the end of the thinker loop all flagged actors will be processed.
For performance reasons this was merged with the P_RunEffects iterator loop.
This was one of that annoying old design mistakes where Doom and Heretic features were poorly merged together. The Heretic Gargoyle uses very similar coding but performs a subtly different action when actually hitting another actor. This different action was made the default, even for the Lost Soul.
It has now been changed that both monsters use their original action, being distinguished by an actor flag. For compatibility with custom definitions Heretic's behavior, which has been the default in ZDoom will be the preferred one. The one of the Lost Soul can be reactivated by a flag.
