Several handle types in the scripting API used inheritance where composition would be more appropriate. This refactors those types, as well as removing the various handle types that were just aliases for `model_h`. These are just the C++-side types; all the Lua types remain as-is.
This also refactors `sound_h` to move the previous `isSoundValid` to `isValid` so that `ade_set_args` will work properly for sounds with the `Lua_API_returns_nil_instead_of_invalid_object` flag. The subclassing from `sound_entry_h` was removed and the "full validity check" was moved to `isValidWithEntry`. The Lua side remains unaffected, but additional documentation was added to clarify the usage.
Follow-up to #6009 and prerequisite to #6006 due to the `isValid` refactor for `sound_h`.
* Add global to local for matrices
* Add lua integration
* Get Submodel from Submodel instance
* Add submodel functions
* Add model instance from submodel instance
* Fix index
* Fix copy paste error
See title. There were some cascade effects, but the changes are mostly contained to the model code. The calls to `gr_render_model` and `g3_render_primitives` use `const_cast` because constifying that API would require a whole other PR.
1) Add the "no-thrusters" ship flag to the list of flag that can be used by alter-ship-flag or the ship's setFlag function
2) Add a `FireRateMultiplier` virtvar to control the firing rate of turrets (fulfills #4300)
3) Add a `setGlowPointBankActive` function to do the same thing as `activate-glow-point-bank`/`deactivate-glow-point-bank`
Allow scripts to reference submodels, submodel instances, and model instances. Currently just a few properties (like Orientation and Radius) can be accessed, but this can be easily expanded in the future.
Also add relevant functions to calculate real-world positions and orientations of rotated submodels.
This introduces type parsing for all types used within the scripting
documentation. This improves the generated JSON output and also
validates new code via the unit test.
1) Upgrade the pilot file code to correctly save flags whether entries are added *or* removed
2) Make the tech-db/tech-db-multi ship flag handling consistent
3) Add scripting support for intel entries
4) Add scripting support for adding and removing entries from the tech room
5) Minor cleanup
This adds JSON as an additional scripting documentation output format.
This can be used by external tools to examine the scripting
documentation and generate interface declarations or documentation for
any language. The existing documentation code is left largely in place.
These were all cases where the parameter was the new value when setting
a variable. The variables should always be initialized when that code is
reached but it is still better to check the pointers before using them.
These were found by @niffiwan.
This will automatically call the destructor of a type of Lua calls the
garbage collector for an object of that type. This is the last step
towards fully supporting non-trivial objects in the Lua API and all
previous workarounds have been removed.
This maintains the type information which can be used for enforce
const-correctness and also for implementing more advanced ways of
handling the type information.
