virtual void InitEffect ()

Usage
A virtual function called by powerups when they become active to initialize whatever needs to be done at that stage. The base Powerup class uses it to set up screen blend/colors.
Powerups with the INVENTORY.AUTOACTIVATE flag will call it automatically (since they're activated automatically). Otherwise, it will be called only once the powerup is used from the inventory bar.
 |
Warning: When overriding this function, always remember to call Super.InitEffect(), otherwise the colormap won't be set up properly, which can lead to unintended consequences, such as the player's screen receiving InvulnerabilitySphere's inverse colormap.

ZScript definition
| Note: The ZScript definition below is for reference and may be different in the current version of GZDoom.The most up-to-date version of this code can be found on GZDoom GitHub. |
The base Powerup class defines it as follows:
virtual void InitEffect()
{
// initialize this only once instead of recalculating repeatedly.
Colormap = ((BlendColor & 0xFFFF0000) == SPECIALCOLORMAP_MASK)? BlendColor & 0xffff : PlayerInfo.NOFIXEDCOLORMAP;
}
