Classes:PSprite

The PSprite class is a dedicated class designed to process and handle states and sprite animations for classes based on StateProvider—namely, Weapon and CustomInventory. While the states and animations are defined in the Weapon/CustomInventory directly, they're displayed by a PSprite. A new instance of a PSprite is created for each new sprite layer.

PSprites are stored in the psprites linked list in the PlayerInfo struct.

PSprites have their own coordinate system compared to the HUD and are drawn underneath it. Unlike HUD elements, world lighting can directly affect PSprites. Players support multiple layers of PSprites denoted by their id. They are also ordered by id meaning layers with greater ids are drawn on top of other layers. For this reason what id you give you a PSprite should be considered carefully when adding overlays. PSprites can be created via PlayerInfo's GetPSprite(), SetPSprite(), and SetSafeFlash() functions. PSprites with an id of 0 are invalid and cannot be created.

Certain rules are preserved when players are ticking their PSprites:

  • If the Caller is null, the PSprite is destroyed.
  • If the Caller is an Inventory item and its owner is not the same as the PSprite's owner, the PSprite is destroyed.
  • If the Caller is a Weapon and it's not the PSprite owner's current ReadyWeapon, the PSprite is destroyed.

These rules can be changed by creating a custom player class that overrides TickPSprites().

Functions that are intended to be called from a PSprite (e.g. a function in a weapon's state) should have the action keyword. This allows the PSprite to properly set up the self, invoker, and stateInfo parameters to pass to it.

There are a few default layer ids that should be noted:

  • PSP_STRIFEHANDS (-1) - Used for displaying the player's hand in Strife. This has special caller and state functionality and should be avoided entirely.
  • PSP_WEAPON (1) - Displays the player's current ReadyWeapon.
  • PSP_FLASH (1000) - Displays the muzzle flash when firing a weapon.
  • PSP_TARGETCENTER (0x7FFFFFFF - 2) - Displays the center of the targeting powerup reticle from Strife. This should be avoided unless using from the appropriate powerup.
  • PSP_TARGETLEFT (0x7FFFFFFF - 1) - Displays the left-hand side of the targeting powerup reticle from Strife. This should be avoided unless using from the appropriate powerup.
  • PSP_TARGETRIGHT (0x7FFFFFFF) - Displays the right-hand side of the targeting powerup reticle from Strife. This should be avoided unless using from the appropriate powerup.

Fields

Readonly

  • readonly State CurState
State data for the PSprite's current state.
  • readonly PSprite Next
A pointer to the next PSprite in the linked list. The head of the list is stored the owner's PlayerInfo, reachable with player.psprites.
  • readonly PlayerInfo Owner
The PlayerInfo struct of the player that owns this PSprite.
  • readonly int ID
The ID given to the PSprite on creation.

Modifiable

  • Actor Caller
The actor that owns the state this PSprite is using.
  • SpriteID Sprite
The current sprite being displayed by the PSprite. This is the same as GetSpriteIndex("SPRT").
  • int Frame
The current frame of the sprite being displayed by the PSprite. In this case A = 0, B = 1, etc.
  • bool processPending
If set to false, the PSprite will not call its [[|Tick|Tick()]]. Usually only relevant when first creating a PSprite so it does not tick on the same frame.
  • double x
The current x offset from the center of the screen. Positive values shift right.
  • double y
The current y offset from the center of the screen. Positive values shift down.
  • double oldx
The x offset on the previous frame. Used for interpolation.
  • double oldy
The y offset on the previous frame. Used for interpolation.
  • Vector2 baseScale
The base scalar to apply to the PSprite before any other transformations. Used by the Weapon.WeaponScaleX/Weapon.WeaponScaleY properties.
  • Vector2 pivot
The pivot point to transform the PSprite about. This is relative to the PSprite's alignment. If bPivotPercent. is set to true, this acts instead like a scalar of the sprite's texture size.
  • Vector2 scale
The x and y scalars. This scales about the PSprite's pivot point.
  • double rotation
The angle the PSprite it rotated by. This rotates it around its pivot point. Positive values rotate counter-clockwise.
  • int HAlign
The horizontal alignment of the PSprite.
  • PSPA_LEFT
Align to the leftmost part of the sprite's texture.
  • PSPA_CENTER
Align to the sprite texture's horizontal center.
  • PSPA_RIGHT
Align to the rightmost part of the sprite's texture.
  • int VAlign
The vertical alignment of the PSprite.
  • PSPA_TOP
Align to the top of the sprite's texture.
  • PSPA_CENTER
Align to the sprite texture's vertical center.
  • PSPA_BOTTOM
Align to the bottom of the sprite's texture.
  • Vector2 Coord0
The offset for the top left coordinate of the sprite's texture.
  • Vector2 Coord1
The offset for the bottom left coordinate of the sprite's texture.
  • Vector2 Coord2
The offset for the top right coordinate of the sprite's texture.
  • Vector2 Coord3
The offset for the bottom right coordinate of the sprite's texture.
  • double alpha
The current transparency. The PSprite must have a renderstyle set that can use it.
  • bool firstTic
Denotes that it's the first tic of the PSprite. This is used to disable interpolation.
  • bool InterpolateTic
All transformations of this PSprite should be interpolated for this tic only.
  • int Tics
The number of tics remaining in the current state.
  • uint Translation
The color translation to apply to the sprite.
  • bool bAddWeapon
Apply the weapon layer's offsets to this PSprite.
  • bool bAddBob
Weapon bobbing offsets apply to this PSprite.
  • bool bPowDouble
Allow the duration of all states to be cut in half if the owner has the powerup.
  • bool bCVarFast
Allow the sv_fastweapons cheat to apply to this PSprite.
  • bool bFlip
The sprite is mirrored across the y axis.
  • bool bMirror
The offsets for the PSprite are mirrored across the y axis.
  • bool bPlayerTranslated
Applies the same translation rules as the player to the PSprite.
  • bool bPivotPercent
If true, the pivot field is read as a scale of the sprite's texture size instead of a coordinate offset.
  • bool bInterpolate
If true, all actions are interpolated (offsetting, rotating, scaling).

Methods

Non-static

  • void SetState(State newstate, bool pending = false)
Same as SetState but for the PSprite. The same can be achieved with player.SetPSprite().
  • void Tick()
PSprite's Tick.
  • void ResetInterpolation()

PlayerInfo PSprite methods

The following methods are called on a PlayerInfo pointer to set up and interact with PSprites. These methods have to be called on a PlayerInfo pointer. For example, when doing it from a PlayerPawn actor, the prefix for them would be self.player (or just player). Same for calling from a Weapon state or a weapon action function, (since in the context of weapon states self is the player pawn owner, while invoker is the weapon itself).

  • PSprite FindPSprite(int id)
Finds a PSprite instance on the layer id and returns a pointer to it. If it doesn't exists, returns null. This allows modifying a PSprite instance directly, much like various A_Overlay* functions do, and also allows checking that a certain PSprite layer already exists.
  • PSprite GetPSprite(int id)
Same as FindPSprite, but if the PSprite doesn't exist, this function will create it and return a pointer to it.
  • void SetPSprite(int id, State stat, bool pending = false)
Sets the PSprite on the specified layer to the specified state (if the layer doesn't exist, it'll be created first). Basically, combines GetPSprite and SetState.
Generally, this is the same as A_Overlay, with one small difference: if A_Overlay is called on a layer that already exists, it'll reset its offsets before moving to the new state, whereas SetPSprite won't. The latter may be useful when there's a need to move a PSprite layer to a different state while retaining previously set offsets. In addition, this function can be called from anywhere, whereas A_Overlay can only be called from a weapon state or weapon action function.
  • void SetSafeFlash(Weapon weap, State flashstate, int index)
Verifies that flashstate + index exists in the state table of the passed weapon (or a weapon class it inherits from) before setting the PSP_FLASH layer. This is mainly useful for preventing crashes if an offset state isn't guaranteed to exist i.e. a child class overrides it.
