It's theoretically possible for `parent_type` to get out of sync with the parent's type, particularly if the parent is destroyed. Since the field is almost never used, it can be removed.
Should fix#4105.
The orientation was broken since the engine rendered the decal box in
the direction of the hit normal which meant that the viewer was looking
at a flipped version of the decal texture.
This fixes that by flipping the direction of the decal before passing it
to the GPU.
This also fixes the orientation for weapon decals which previously did
not take the orientation of the weapon that just impacted into account.
There is a bit of code that detonates a missile if it misses impacting on a subsystem. On Nyctaeus's Arachnas model, missiles could reach the center point of the main beam turret submodel without actually hitting any part of the submodel. The fail-safe code would set the missile to detonate in that case, but on low-FPS systems the weapon would be able to actually hit the turret before it detonated. On high-FPS systems, there is a clean miss.
This reworks the code to delay the missile detonation until it reaches the other side of the submodel, so it has time to hit some other part of it. It also reduces the detonation time from 1/100 of a second (which is more than one frame on 120 FPS systems) to 1/1000 of a second (which is always less than one frame).
Mostly renaming of fields and functions, and moving some modelread sections into functions. This reorganization will put the code on a better footing for the model translation feature. No model translation code is included yet, and there should be no change in functionality.
* Switch Multimsg to use netsig for animations
* Unique-ify animation ID's
* Clang Tidy
* Implement first suggestions
* Implement suggestions 2
* Add get model instance safeguard
1) Changes the submodel flags to use a flagset instead of several booleans
2) Adds `rotate_accel` to allow submodel rotation acceleration to be specified
Submodel acceleration can now be instant; dumb-rotating submodels always instantly accelerate (and have always done so)
The Rotators_locked flag was created specifically as a lab option that didn't affect animations or intrinsic rotations, so return it to that scope. Also rename it to clarify that it applies to subsystems and to be future-proof for submodel translation.
This moves submodel rotation out of the AI pipeline and into object movement. With the exception of turret rotation (which remains in the AI code) this now allows all types of submodel rotation to happen in the same place. Many associated functions have also been cleaned up.
In addition to making the code cleaner and clearer, this will make it much easier for intrinsic rotations and new animations to be applied to non-ship objects, such as weapons.
* refactor hud escort list to be less crazy
- don't keep rebuilding list
- add and remove ships more efficiently
- better handling of player ships in multi (fixes#1674)
* fix sorting issues
- incomplete priority sort
- reversed alpha sort
* fix additional sorting issue
* improve safety check in list sort function
* add safety checks to hud_add_ship_to_escort()
this wasn't meant to be used outside of the module so
it was not really safe to use with sexps previously
* remove entries properly in hud_add_remove_ship_escort()
This adds two new enums to persistent sounds which can be utilized by scripts.
1. OS_PLAY_ON_PLAYER, which allows persistent sounds to play on the player's ship.
2. OS_LOOPING_DISABLED, which allows the scripter to set the sound to play once and not have to then call `removeSound` later. Very handy for playing an assigned sound once with one line.
Tested and everything works as expected.
