- When using both scaling flags, by default, the effect only reaches half peak going either way. This forces it to go all the way to the top (or bottom if using QF_MAX) before scaling back to its original height..
- QF_SCALEUP behaves like QF_SCALEDOWN: it gradually scales the tremors, only going upwards.
- QF_SCALEUP and QF_SCALEDOWN can be combined to make an earthquake that gradually smoothes in and out.
- QF_MAX can be used to invert this behavior, where it starts at the peak of the amplitude, fades out half way, and then grows back to maximum.
- Unlocks the full potential of using quakes, including the Z axis. Each intensity applies to X/Y/Z planes whenever a player is experiencing it.
- Flags:
- QF_RELATIVE - Adjusts the quaking of the camera to go in the direction its aiming (X: forward/backward. Y: Left/right.)
- Plans for including pitch will be implemented in the future for the Z axis with relativity.
I have no idea why this was ever deemed proper - but it clearly breaks some Hexen maps and it not even remotely mimics the original behavior. Even now, it's not the same but since the items fall down they at least end up where they are supposed to be.
- ang_offset: the extra angle to apply to the actor after calculating the maximum turn.
- pitch_offset: Just like ang_offset, with pitch instead.
- FAF_BOTTOM: Aim straight for the actor's z coordinate, not with +32 units.
- FAF_MIDDLE: Aims for the direct middle of the actor.
- FAF_TOP: Aims for the very top of the actor.
- FAF_NODISTFACTOR: Use the raw pitch offset without calculating it into the distance of the aimed actor.
- The error "You cannot pass parameters to..." used the most recent token,
which was always ( and not the function name. (Note that this was
already fixed in the scripting branch, so this is probably going to be a
conflict. Meh.)
- Added A_Warp flags:
- WARPF_BOB: Gets the bob offset of actor pointer with the FLOATBOB flag.
- WARPF_MOVEPTR: The function is inversed to move the pointed actor with applied flags, but only the original caller will make the success/jump.
- Rippers will rip through anything with an equivalent ripper level, or if their level is between or on the min and max ranges.
- If no min or max is defined, it simply checks if the monster's ripper level is lower than the missiles.
- Functions: A_SetRipperLevel(int level), A_SetRipMin(int min), A_SetRipMax(int max)
- Properties: RipperLevel, RipLevelMin, and RipLevelMax.
- RipperLevel: Applicable to monsters and projectiles.
- RipLevelMin and RipLevelMax are only useful on monsters.
- By default, all are 0.
- Do a filter and species check first to save time.
- Added DMSS/KILS/RMVF_EITHER, which means if the actor is of type or species, it counts.
- A_DamageTarget(20,"Normal",DMSS_EITHER,"DoomImp","CyberdemonSpecies")
- This affects actor DoomImp, and anything that's of species CyberdemonSpecies.
- Added a little more documentation via comments.
- Added two more flags for each of the functions, EXFILTER and EXSPECIES.
- Stands for "exclude filter/species" and makes the function not take them into account.
- Cleaned up the code and placed all the checking in their own subfunctions.
- The wiki said the minimum distance to teleport defaults to 0, actor.txt on the other hand said otherwise. I was wondering why it was still broken somewhat...
- Prevent stickiness from happening, a.k.a. getting stuck in ceiling or floor and letting the engine unstick the actor. This caused velocity loss.
