* Added ViewAngle/Pitch/Roll properties to actors.
- These are offsets for camera angles that allow turning the camera without affecting aim or movement direction.
- Added A_SetView<Angle/Pitch/Roll>, which will set the view direction.
- Added ABSVIEWANGLES flag, used to make the view absolute instead of an offset.
* Converted functions to be direct-native.
Neither the setup nor the in-game checks were correct, because this code comes from a time where ceilings could not have a terrain, meaning that 3D floors couldn't have one.
These were creating dangerous interdependencies. It is better to do explicit conversions when needed.
As an added plus, this means that zstring.h no longer depends on name.h which was very annoying.
- added Marisa Kirisame's CHAN_OVERLAP flag.
- exported S_IsActorPlayingSomething to ZScript.
The sound API change required deprecating A_PlaySound and S_Sound. There are now new variants S_StartSound and A_StartSound which have two distinct parameters for channel and flags.
This was only run on a state change and missed every external light change.
Any place which wants to flag a light change now only will set a flag and at the end of the thinker loop all flagged actors will be processed.
For performance reasons this was merged with the P_RunEffects iterator loop.
This was one of that annoying old design mistakes where Doom and Heretic features were poorly merged together. The Heretic Gargoyle uses very similar coding but performs a subtly different action when actually hitting another actor. This different action was made the default, even for the Lost Soul.
It has now been changed that both monsters use their original action, being distinguished by an actor flag. For compatibility with custom definitions Heretic's behavior, which has been the default in ZDoom will be the preferred one. The one of the Lost Soul can be reactivated by a flag.
Rearranged conditions to avoid accessing player from obsolete morphed pawn
Unmorphing upon death resets player in morphed actor, so player alive state should be tested first
Removed duplicate health check as well
