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
- scriptified all Effect functions of Fastprojectile's children
- implemented access to class meta data.
- added a VM instruction to retrieve the class metadata, to eliminate the overhead of the function call that would otherwise be needed.
- made GetClass() a builtin so that it can use the new instruction
Important note about this commit: Scriptifying CFlameMissile::Effect revealed a problem with the virtual function interface: In order to work, this needs to be explicitly enabled for each single native class that may be used as a base for a scripted class. Needless to say, this will end up way too much work, as there are over 100 native classes, excluding those which will be scriptified. But in order to fix the problem this partially broken state needs to be committed first.
This prevented any kind of error check on them.
Unfortunately, due to backwards compatibility needs, on DECORATE the missing class may not be fatal so a workaround had to be added to clear those bogus pointers later if they are discovered to be broken.
For ZScript, though, this will result in a compile error, which was the intention behind this change.
* 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.
- fixed: P_FindFloorCeiling set the floorsector for a new ceilingheight.
Note: P_DrawRailTrail still needs to be changed, at the moment rail trails through portals will not work correctly.
* set up linked sector portals so that everything that will eventually have to be considered is present, even though the software renderer currently can't handle those adequately.
* tag all skybox things with a type so that they can easily be distinguished at run time.
* fill in the linked portal types in xlat/eternity.txt.
- Converting the wave speed back to floats, since I'm using sin() instead
of the finesine table now.
- Pre-shift the quake intensities to avoid extra shifting in GetModIntensity.
- Loading old saves will shift the intensities to fixed point but will not
convert the fixed wave speeds to floats. The chances of this
being in a savegame where the speeds are non-zero is pretty much nil,
and int and floating point 0 are bitwise identical (not counting -0.0).
- Squashed commit of the following:

Added QF_WAVE to A_QuakeEx.
- Changes the random quakes into a sine wave (see Shadow Warrior/Rise of the Triad reboots, Hard Reset, etc.)
- Added 3 properties to control waves per second along each individual axis. Only works with QF_WAVE.
- Intensity X/Y/Z property becomes the amplitude of the wave.
- Stacks with regular quakes, allowing shaking along the camera which must be called using A_QuakeEx WITHOUT the flag, or the other quaking functions.
- Uses the youngest quake's time for positioning.

Some more progress, but...
- This did not solve anything. In fact, it did the opposite -- completely broke wave quakes. Now they only happen whenever a random quake is in progress.
- Left in the commented code on purpose so Randi can test it.

QF_WAVE renamed from SINE.
- Lots of ground covered, but still more to go.
- Still need to figure out how to make the camera properly shudder.
commit 427e4893193470bbf45415ffec70a0b69b8cccfd
Author: MajorCooke <paul.growney22@gmail.com>
Date: Sun Feb 22 16:52:30 2015 -0600
- Begin the groundworks for QF_SINE.
- Need to figure out how to rework and manipulate the sine wave to move faster, and to allow going below 0 without breaking it too much.
- Quake scaling should be handled for each quake. The former
implementation was potentially taking flags from one quake and applying
them to another, which is broken.
- Remove all the int<->float conversions.
- 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.
- Relative quakes are different from other quakes; all quakes affecting
the camera do not become relative if one of them is relative.
- Use a single function call to get quake visual parameters instead of four.
- Thrust things in a psuedo-ellipse if they're inside a damaging quake whose
IntensityX != IntensityY.
- Don't break old savegames.
- 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.
int SpawnDecal(int tid, str decalname, int flags, fixed angle, int zoffset, int distance)
Traces a line from tid's actor until hitting a wall, then creates a decal there. Returns the
number of decals spawned.
* tid = Which actor(s) to start the trace at.
* decalname = Which decal to spawn.
* flags =
* SDF_ABSANGLE = Angle parameter is an absolute angle. Otherwise, it's relative to the origin actor's angle.
* SDF_PERMANENT = Decal ignores cl_maxdecals. Otherwise, it will eventually disappear.
* angle = Direction in which to search for a wall. Defaults to 0.0.
* zoffset = Offset from the middle of the origin actor for the Z height of the decal. Defaults to 0.
* distance = Maximum distance to search for a wall. Defaults to 64.

- fixed: The same rules that are used for deciding if a weapon attack took place should be used when checking the PIERCEARMOR flag in P_LineAttack: It should be ignored if the attack doesn't originate from the weapon.
