Misc.

ZScript

• add Region in anticipation of z3 scrolling f87c20d08  

  To enable scripts to work in 2.55 and in a future release with z3 scrolling, we are adding a non-functional Region:

  • Region->Width: width in pixels (today, always 256)
  • Region->Height: height in pixels (176)
  • Region->ScreenWidth: width in screens (1)
  • Region->ScreenHeight: height in screens (1)
  • Region->NumCombos: number of combo positions (176)
  • Region->ID: region id (0 - meaning just a normal 1x1 area)
  • Region->OriginScreen: top-left screen in the region
  • Region->GetScreenForComboPos(int pos): given a combo position, returns the screen index associated with it
  • Region->TriggerSecrets(int screen_index): trigger secrets for given screen. The screen must be in the region

   

  For example, if a script uses Region->NumCombos instead of 176 to iterate all the combos in the current area, it will work in both regions and non-regions. Additionally you should use ComboAt(x, y) rather than anything else to translate between pixel coordinates and a combo position.

• mark combo->CSet deprecated, in favor for the better named ->CSet2 691450338
