- 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).
- Since DECORATE's return statement can only return the results of
function calls (I do not want to spend the time necessary to make it
return arbitrary expressions), here are three functions to get around
this limitation:
* A_State - Returns the state passed to it. You can simulate A_Jump
functions with this.
* A_Int - Returns the int passed to it.
* A_Bool - Returns the bool passed to it.
- e.g. If you want to return the number 3, you use this:
return A_Int(3);
If you want to jump to a different state, you use this:
return A_State("SomeState");
- 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.
- SPF_FULLBRIGHT makes the particle full bright.
- SPF_RELATIVE encapsulates the following flags:
- SPF_RELPOS: Position is relative to angle.
- SPF_RELVEL: Velocity is relative to angle.
- SPF_RELACCEL: Acceleration is relative to angle.
- SPF_RELANG: Add caller's angle to angle parameter for relativity.
- Checks to see if a certain actor class, in numbers, is close to the actor/pointer via distance, based upon count. Can check for ancestry, disable Z searching, perform less than or equal to instead of greater or equal to, exact counts, check a pointer instead of itself and differentiate between live monsters and dead.
- Now includes anglelimit and pitchlimit.
- Anglelimit and pitchlimit only allows the actor to turn this much, similar to A_FaceTarget's limit. FVF_RESETPITCH also respects the pitch limit.
- (offset, anglelimit, pitchlimit, flags, ptr)
- Changes the caller's angle and pitch according to the direction of velocity they're travelling.
- FVF_NOPITCH and FVF_NOANGLE disable changing of pitch/angle respectively and should be counted as mutually exclusive, or the function does nothing.
- FVF_INTERPOLATE - Interpolate's the angle and pitch changes.
- FVF_RESETPITCH will, if there's no z velocity, reset the pitch to 0. Otherwise, the pitch remains unchanged.
- Added 'threshold' and 'defthreshold' to DECORATE expression exposure.
- ChaseThreshold sets the default threshold for how long a monster must chase one target before it can switch targets. Default is 100, must not be negative.
- A_SetChaseThreshold can be used to alter the current or default threshold of an actor <pointer>.
- Changing current threshold has no effect on what the default will be once it hits 0 and something makes it infight with another.
