* everything related to scripting is now placed in a subdirectory 'scripting', which itself is separated into DECORATE, ZSCRIPT, the VM and code generation.
* a few items have been moved to different headers so that the DECORATE parser definitions can mostly be kept local. The only exception at the moment is the flags interface on which 3 source files depend.
- switched the types of the internal 'self' and 'stateowner' parameters so that they get assigned correctly. I can't tell if this will error out if fields get accessed from the caller with the wrong class, but for actual scripting to work these must be correct.
The committed 'actor.txt' can be parsed successfully, with the exception of a few subclass references that cannot be resolved yet.
This uses the same property and flag tables as DECORATE with a few changes:
* it sets the parse mode to strict, so that several DECORATE warnings are now errors.
* trying to change a deprecated flag will print a warning.
* setting of editor numbers, spawn and conversation ID id not possible. Use MAPINFO to do this.
* all subclass flags must use the qualified name now (e.g. +ALWAYSPICKUP will print an error.)
* the scriptable Damage property is not yet implemented. This will require a special case with a differently named property in the processing function because in the AST it is no longer possible to distinguish between a damage value and a constant damage function.
int SetActorFlag(int tid, str flagname, bool value);
- Mimics DECORATE's A_ChangeFlag
- Returns number of actors affected (number of things with the flag)
- Affects activator if TID is 0

So something like 'return ++user_x;' is now possible
Admittedly this needed quite a bit of refactoring mainly due to the fact that return types now have to be checked after resolving the function rather than before
- This is an effort to emphasize that these are just type casts. Now they
look like function-style casts with no action function styling.
They do no magic joojoo at all. The only reason they exist is because
the DECORATE parser can only parse return statements that call a
function, so these satisfy that requirement. i.e. *return int(666);* is
identical to *return 666;* (if the parser could handle the latter).
- 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.
- Member variables are now declared all in one place: InitThingdef(). They
are not partially defined in thingdef_expression.cpp and further refined
in actor.txt.
- This left ParseNativeVariable() parsing only functions, so it has been
renamed to ParseNativeFunction().
- Note that their declarations in InitThingdef() are expected to be
temporary.
- So now you can do something like this for an action:
{
if (health > 1000)
{
A_Scream;
}
else
{
A_XScream;
}
}
Yes, the braces are required. Because I see too many instances where
somebody writes an if statement in ACS and doesn't understand why it
doesn't work right because they forgot braces.
- Fixed: Not actually putting an action between { and } would crash.
- You can now call several actions from one frame by grouping them between
curly braces. i.e. :
POSS G 3 { A_Pain; A_Log("Ow! That hurt!"); }
I will probably add an `if (something) { blah; blah; } else { wah; wah; }`
construct later, but that's the extent of the munging I plan for DECORATE. The
real work goes to the scripting language, not here. But if this branch is
getting merged to master sooner than later, here's an immediate benefit
from it right now.
- This replaces the general extensibility that had existed formerly
in thingdef_function.cpp. Parameter parsing for function calls is
shared with state parameter parsing. Functions are defined exactly in
the same way as action functions, but without the 'action' keyword.

- Added register reuse to VMFunctionBuilder for FxPick's code emitter.
- Note to self: Need to reimplement IsPointerEqual and CheckClass, which
were added to thingdef_function.cpp over the past year, as this file no
longer exists in this branch.
- This all became vestigial code after the relevant information was all
moved into FStateTempCall. Now that the MBF code pointer code has been
converted, I can be sure it wasn't still used anywhere.
When set, the actor will run this state during its first tick. This means Spawn
states may now run an action function if you set this flag. Note that this action function
is executed during the actor's first tick, which is not the same as when it is spawned.

- Changed Actor's Damage property into an actual function. All access to the damage property
must now be done through GetMissileDamage. actor->GetMissileDamage(0, 1) is equivalent
to the former actor->Damage, for the case where actor->Damage was not an expression. (I
suppose I will probably need to make a thunk for DECORATE expressions that want to read it.)
- Cleaned up some decorate expression evaluation functions that are no longer used.
SVN r3919 (scripting)
- Initialize the alt HUD explicitly in D_DoomMain.
- don't let S_UnloadReverbDef leave a broken list of sound environments behind.
- Added more code to explicitly delete data before initializing it.
