Thanks for this.
1. Thanks, yep, I've got all that. I'm happy.
2. Yep, agree with the notation, that's my bad, but I think you get the point with the logical ordering of args. I've also noticed since writing this that the op code actually comes last, so yes, it.
Regarding not seeing 02 data type on the stack, I 'think' I can read this from the scripts, eg, an 0x81 (RWRD - Random) pushes an 02 type onto the stack. I think I can read a lot in the Terry Ferguson docs about 02s being added, but I might just be misunderstanding,
https://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=3290Either way, I think what I mean by this is that I'm not sure what to push onto my 'stack reconstructed' if I get a '00 41 60', but I'll go with the a stack value of a 10-digit binary saved as a word. We'll see, but this is really for me. I've tested a number of AI scripts so far and it seems to give me the results I'm looking for.
3. I think this is the same as above, but it's throwing me off because it's a 22 (eg, x=2 -> 2 byte return type), but if I understand what you're saying, it should always be (in the instance of 2xxx commands) a single 2byte array returned, even though the x=2 'implies' a 2byte per record. I'll have to find an example specifically look into it.
4. Will do, much appreciated.
I do, however, have another small question:
5.
How does the preScriptSetup execution affect the stack?Eg, is an actor's stack a singleton or is it a new instance between different invocations of different script types.
During the execution of a stack, there is a 0x92 command with an argument less than 0x20 that results in the triggering of all active actors' preActionSetup scripts. Is it fair to say the following:
A)
- After the enemy turnTimer indicates that a enemy has a turn, the enemy 'turn' is added to a prioritised turn queue
- When it is the enemy turn get priority it:
- Executes the 'main' script, which may or may not result in a 0x92 command (with < 0x20 arg), if it does
- All actors sequentially run their preActionSetup scripts, in their own 'new stack instance', most importantly, the current actor has two stacks in this point, or at least, there is an index maintained that allows it continue after the preActionSetup script(s) have finished
- The execution and animation of the enemy 0x92 happens
- The script picks up from where it was until it reach an 0x73 end code
OR B)
- After the enemy turnTimer indicates that a enemy has a turn, the enemy 'turn' is added to a prioritised turn queue
- When it is the enemy turn get priority it:
- Executes the 'main' script, which may or may not result in a 0x92 command (with < 0x20 arg), if it does, effectively this is the end of the enemy stack turn because:
- All actors sequentially run their preActionSetup scripts, thus destroying the one stack
- The execution and animation of the enemy 0x92 happens
(eg, the 0x92 is effectively equal to the 0x73 end code, and nothing can happen in the stack after) - I really don't think this is the case, Diamond Weapon queues commands after the 0x92
OR C)
- After the enemy turnTimer indicates that a enemy has a turn, the enemy 'turn' is added to a prioritised turn queue
- When it is the enemy turn get priority it:
- All actors sequentially run their preActionSetup scripts
- Executes the the 'main' script, which may or may not result in a 0x92 command (with < 0x20 arg), if it does:
- The execution and animation of the enemy 0x92 happens
- The script picks up from where it was until it reach an 0x73 end code
OR Something else. I'm really looking for a logical view here.
Much appreciated!
Update: I'm pretty sure that it's the first as I get very similar results to what I see in game here.
