Bug with function A_SetSize() about gzdoom HOT 11 CLOSED

If I understand this correctly, this is a PlayerPawn, right? In that case it's not possible to change height, because it will restore it each tick based on the crouch factor.

Yes, the player is based on PlayerPawn.
Very bad .. Tell me is it possible to add to in function A_SetSize (..., bool ingnore CrouchFactor)?
Unfortunately, the standard Crouch factor is not very convenient to modify the player crouching.
arg like "bool ingnore CrouchFactor" very usefull for create custom Crouch state which could change the height of the player.

It's not that easy. Allowing this will require some deeper changes in the player logic.

Thanks for the answer.
I only hope that in the future it will be possible to dynamically change the height of the player in the State.

Ooof. This bug is being painful to me as well. I think getting this fixed would make things a lot easier rather than dealing with 2 morphs as once.

Don't expect any quick solutions. This one involves some heavy refactoring of player logic.

from gzdoom.

I circumvent this by simply setting height every tic, and this is probably that exact bug that causes the problem that I've mentioned in ZScript discussion thread, with AttackZOffset constantly going back to it's old value. So that one doesn't need investigation now.

from gzdoom.

It actually still does need investigating, because that's more processing time still being added. Remember, it has to reset the blockmap. And that's the very thing that was causing NOINTERACTION to lag.

"simply setting height every tic"

A_SetSize, do not change the height of the player's hitbox! Even if you write A_SetSize everywhere in every tick.
This script shows the change in the height of the player, but in fact its height does not change!
script "test" ENTER {
while (TRUE) {
PrintBold(s:"height ",d:GetActorProperty(0,APROP_Height),s:"\nRadius ",d:GetActorProperty(0,APROP_Radius),s:"\n\nheightF ",f:GetActorProperty(0,APROP_Height),s:"\nRadiusF ",f:GetActorProperty(0,APROP_Radius));
Delay(1);}
}

To check, download the MAP test:

and try to pass under a ceiling or a custom invisible bridge (Z height of the bridge = 10 and the ceiling height = 10). When a player is walking, his the height = 5

...Of course it does that when you use ACS. ACS lags behind, but not zscript.
