Links through sector portals are not done because nearly all the checks can be performed without doing this so if it works without there's no need to add more processing time.
Will have to see if there's cases left where such a link is needed and if so, whether there's better options to do it.
For line portals such links are necessary to have proper collision detection with actors that are currently transitioning the portal.
- This could happen in co-op games that did not have enough player starts
for all the players spawning. Voodoo doll starts were not excluded from
the set of possible starts as they should have been.
- 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.
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.
- converted the P_TranslatePortal* functions to use floating point trigonometry. The combination of R_PointToAngle and finesine even created discrepancies with perfectly parallel portals which is just not acceptable.
- added a function to FPathTraverse to relocate the trace and restart from the new position.
- made P_UseLines portal aware. Traversal through line portals is complete (all types, even teleporters), whether sector portals need better treatment remains to be seen - at the moment it only checks the range at the player's vertical center.
- The A_Jump family of action functions now return the state to jump
to (NULL if no jump is to be taken) instead of jumping directly.
It is the caller's responsibility to handle the jump. This will
make it possible to use their results in if statements and
do something other than jump.
- DECORATE return statements can now return the result of a function
(but not any random expression--it must be a function call). To
make a jump happen from inside a multi-action block, you must
return the value of an A_Jump function. e.g.:
{ return A_Jump(128, "SomeState"); }
- The VMFunction class now contains its prototype instead of storing
it at a higher level in PFunction. This is so that
FState::CallAction can easily tell if a function returns a state.
- Removed the FxTailable class because with explicit return
statements, it's not useful anymore.
A big problem with this function was that some flags required setting up some variables before calling it and others did not. It will now set everything up itself so all initializations to AActor::floorz and ceilingz that were made before these calls (which were all identical to begin with) could be removed and the internal initialization logic streamlined.
- removed Plane/Floor/CeilingAtPoint functions because they are overkill for the problem they were meant to solve. Calling ZatPoint with adjusted coordinates created with AActor::PosRelative is just as easy in the few places where this is needed.
- made P_HitWater and P_CheckSplash portal aware.
* the temporary checking arrays are now static
* the array that gets the returned values only starts allocating memory when the third touched sector group is found. The most common cases (no touched portal and one touched portal) can be handled without accessing the heap.
- did some streamlining of AActor::LinkToSector:
* there's only now version of this function that can handle everything
* moved the FIXMAPTHINGPOS stuff into a separate function.
* removed LinkToWorldForMapThing and put all special handling this function did into P_PointInSectorBuggy.
This was to resolve some circular dependencies with the portal code.
The most notable changees:
* FTextureID was moved from textures.h to doomtype.h because it is frequently needed in files that don't want to do anything with actual textures.
* split off the parts from p_maputl into a separate header.
* consolidated all blockmap related data into p_blockmap.h
* split off the polyobject parts into po_man.h
The reason for defining them is to be able to fill out the Eternity translation table for GZDoom's Extradata parser.
Most of the new specials are mere specializations of ZDoom's Generic_* functions and occupy positions above 255 to avoid filling up the last remaining free slots available for Hexen format maps.
Allowing action specials greater than 255 required a few changes:
* all access to action specials is now through a small set of access functions.
* Two new PCodes were added to ACC to handle these new specials from scripts.
* a minor change to the network protocol, so netgame and demo version numbers were bumped.
* FS_Execute is now properly defined in p_lnspec.cpp.
Two of the newly added specials - generalizations of the special 'close Door in 30 seconds' and 'raise door in 5 minutes' sector types, will also be available to Hexen format maps. The rest are limited to use in ACS, UDMF and DECORATE.
This also adds 'change' and 'crush' parameters to most Floor_* and Ceiling_* specials, again to match Eternity's feature set.
- Cleared some GCC and Clang warnings. Mostly static analysis false positives, but one of them generated a pretty massive warning in a release build.
- Use -Wno-unused-result since I doubt we're going to address those unless they actually prove to be a problem (and they only appear in release builds).
