It depended on the devoured actor not disappearing from the map prematurely to work as intended, so a new check had to be added to get out of the deadlock.
* Back in 2020, I was trying to tidy stuff up and had no idea about network awareness, etc.
* The original game misused network bits here, however I don't see why the player's angle can't just be tested for signedness. Again, something I didn't see way back when...

* We must continue the misuse of network bits like the original game did to make sure the RRRA vehicles are network aware.

All enemies now run a native init function to reduce script-induced problems.
this required adding a NOGRAVITY flag so that the recon can use the same code as well which was the only enemy relying on custom code.
As it turned out this is simply too dangerous - these should be left to be loaded from the map data or set manually.
All remaining setups using this feature have either been moved to Initialize or other meta properties that are not affected by map loading.
As soon as default init for CON gets in this won't work right anymore - these must come last, not first.
This commit contains all the trivial cases with no inheritance concerns.
That's the developer commentary icon in World Tour, the deactivation switch for the chicken processing plant in RR and one shootable alarm bell in RRRA.
This was a typical case of doing too many things in one function - the bogus code was for one of RR's special projectiles piggybacking on the same function and doing it wrong.
Duke uses the owner a lot to check if an actor was spawned at map start or in-game, but that depends a lot on stale pointers being maintained, which our garbage collected system does not allow. So this field now serves as a more reliable stand-in for these cases.
No actual changes yet.
.def is not the right place for this - it needs to run very early in the process, before scripted actors are loaded, so doing this stuff there means that half the initialization has to be postponed and error reporting is sub-par.
These are now part of RMAPINFO which gets parsed as one of the very last things - it is also where GZDoom is doing some of these things.
The better error reporting also allowed fixing some errors in these definitions.
