This required splitting A_CallSpecial into a direct wrapper around P_ExecuteSpecial and implementing itself as a script function calling ExecuteSpecial so that this special case can use a version of the function that can be used without an activator.
- fixed the return type checks in CallStateChain. These made some bogus assumptions about what return prototypes to support and would have skipped any multi-return function whose first argument was actually usable.
This should for now conclude actor class scriptification. The remaining ten classes with the exception of MorphedMonster are all too essential or too closely tied to engine feature so they should remain native.
- improved the class pointer to string cast to print the actual type it describes and not the class pointer's own type.
- fixed: The 'is' operator created non-working code when checking the inheritance of a class pointer, it only worked for objects.
There are a few which require explicit native construction or destruction that need to be exported to the VM, e.g. FCheckPosition.
The VM cannot handle this directly, it needs two special functions to be attached to handle such elements.
- created script exports for all relevant functions with all integral types.
- created script side definitions for the underlying data types.
- added a void pointer type so that the prototype for the pointer array can use a generic type every pointer can be assigned to.
- made ModifyDamage calls iterative instead of recursive. With going through the VM they'd be too costly otherwise.
- small optimization: Detect empty VM functions right when entering the VM and shortcut them. This is to reduce the overhead of virtual placeholders, which in a few cases (e.g. CanCollideWith and ModifyDamage) can be called quite frequently.
This function calculated everything correctly but ultimately set the vertical velocity wrong. Most importantly this meant that the actual velocity vector and actor pitch - if CMF_SAVEPITCH was used - did not match.
Since this bug has been present since the pitch parameter was added, this deprecates A_CustomMissile and replaces it with a properly implemented A_SpawnProjectile function and handling the compatibility case with a new flag and a scripted wrapper function.
All internal uses of A_CustomMissile have been replaced as well.
This will get called for both actors taking part in a collision, if one of the two calls returns false it will immediately abort PIT_CheckThing with no collision taking place at all.
