- Clears a set of overlays in ranges [start,stop]. If unspecified, wipes all non-hardcoded layers. Safety determines whether to affect core layers or not (i.e. weapon). Returns the number of layers cleared.
Added no override boolean to A_Overlay and a boolean return type.
- If true, and a layer already has an active layer, the function returns false. Otherwise, sets the layer and returns true.
SPF_NOTIMEFREEZE processes particles with this flag regardless of time freeze. The endsize parameter changes the scale of the particle to that size throughout its lifetime linearly.
- 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.
- Places the weapon offset by the defined x and y. Both are floats. This stacks with weapon bobbing.
- WOF_KEEPX: Don't change the X offset.
- WOF_KEEPY: Don't change the Y offset.
- WOF_ADD: Add onto instead of replacing the coordinates.
- 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.
This fixes some jerkiness with vertical scrollers due to a bad sine period and makes the overall appearance of the effect what it was originally supposed to be. The old warp2 shader was not created by replicating the formula but by trial and error until it looked close enough.
A version of the old warp2 shader with a fixed sine period is still available as a custom hardware shader.
Since decals may have thinkers attached this will crash when such a savegame gets loaded, because the thinker lists get reset in P_SerializeThinkers, deleting any thinker that already was processed.
I also added an error message that immediately aborts the save process if such an out-of-sequence thinker is attempted to be written out.
This obviously breaks savegame compatibility again...
