Ideya Drone Improvements

• Player aligns to Drone position upon Nightserizing, so that starting position is always consistent.
• Drone hitbox position is constant and not affected by gravity.
• Drone works properly even if its position, scaling, or reverse-gravity is changed by Lua
  • If Drone is scaled, the player gets scaled too upon Nightserizing

Thing Spec

• Drone hitbox is configurable by height, radius, and player alignment.
• Height: Thing Parameter # 1-15, multiples of 32.
  • E.g., if parameter # is 4, Drone hitbox height is 128.
  • Default height is 80.
• Radius: Upmost 4 bits of Thing angle, value 1-15, multiples of 32.
  • Set this by calculating ([RadiusValue] << 12) + [TimeLimit]
  • Default radius is 16.
• Player Alignment:
  • Default: Align player from the bottom of hitbox plus 24 fracunits
  • MTF_OBJECTSPECIAL: Align player to top of hitbox
  • MTF_EXTRA: Align player to middle of hitbox
  • MTF_EXTRA AND MTF_OBJECTSPECIAL: Align player to true bottom of hitbox, no offset.

Examples

• File:Nights-dronebox.wad - MAP01 thru MAP10, level subtitles explain the examples.
• File:Nights-drone-advanced.wad - MAP01. Type `dronehelp` in console to manipulate Drone properties such as scale and height.
