Mathutils support for subclassing Vector, Quat, Euler and Matrix types.
Removed C docstrings, prefer to make sure our epydocs are well maintained rather then duplicate, vague doc strings.
Will convert scripts to detect missing docs from the BGE.
Adding a UI to set the type on startup can be added easily.
# ----
class myPlayer(GameTypes.KX_GameObject):
def die(self):
# ... do stuff ...
self.endObject()
# make an instance
player = myPlayer(gameOb) # gameOb is made invalid now.
player.die()
# ----
One limitation (which could also be an advantage), is making the subclass instance will return that subclass everywhere, you cant have 2 different subclasses of the same BGE data at once.
Remove the last of the odd C++/python wrapper code from http://www.python.org/doc/PyCPP.html (~1998)
* Use python subclasses rather then having fake subclassing through get/set attributes calling parent types.
* PyObject getset arrays are created while initializing the types, converted from our own attribute arrays. This way python deals with subclasses and we dont have to define getattro or setattro functions for each type.
* GameObjects and Scenes no longer have attribute access to properties. only dictionary style access - ob['prop']
* remove each class's get/set/dir functions.
* remove isA() methods, can use PyObject_TypeCheck() in C and issubclass() in python.
* remove Parents[] array for each C++ class, was only used for isA() and wasnt correct in quite a few cases.
* remove PyTypeObject that was being passed as the last argument to each class (the parent classes too).
TODO -
* Light and VertexProxy need to be converted to using attributes.
* memory for getset arrays is never freed, not that bad since its will only allocates once.
* all mathutils types now have optional callbacks
* PyRNA returns mathutils quat and euler types automatically when they have the rotation subtype.
* PyRNA, reuse the BPy_StructRNA PyObject rather name making a new one for each function returned.
* use more arithb.c functions for Mathutils quaternion type (less inline cruft).
* BGE Mathutils integration mostly finished- KX_PyMath now converts to Mathutils types rather then lists.
* make all mathutils types share the same header so they can share a number of functions - dealloc, getWrapped, getOwner.
Game engine Makefile update.
Note to coders: including BLO_ for only intptr typedef is ehh... not
so nice. But it should not have been added there in first place.
(BLO_ = .blend file read/write). Nice for a future cleanup. :)
Also goes for ED_ includes btw, = bad level call for GE! If you need
it to get things work now, fine, but it will make player impossible.
in short, vectors can work as if they are thin wrapped but not crash blender if the original data is removed.
* RNA vector's return Mathutils vector types.
* BGE vectors for GameObject's localPosition, worldPosition, localPosition, localScale, worldScale, localInertia.
* Comment USE_MATHUTILS define to disable returning vectors.
Example...
* 2.49... *
loc = gameOb.worldPosition
loc[1] = 0
gameOb.worldPosition = loc
* With vectors... *
gameOb.worldPosition[1] = 0
* But this wont crash... *
loc = gameOb.worldPosition
gameOb.endObject()
loc[1] = 0 # will raise an error that the objects removed.
This breaks games which assume return values are lists.
Will add this to eulers, matrix and quaternion types later.
* Removed modules Expression and CValue, neither were ever available.
* Added GameLogic.EvalExpression(exp) from the Expression module, evaluates an expression like the expression controller (not sure if this is really that useful since python is far more advanced).
* resetting the original blend file path didint work (own fault == -> =)
* Py3.x PyModule_Create didnt allow importing since it didn't add to sys.modules,
Looks like they want us to use init-tab array, but this doesn't suit us since
it needs to be setup before python is initialized.
* Documented GameLogic.globalDict
* Missing changes to release/windows/installer
* Sequencer fixes in source/blender/src/seqaudio.c dont apply to 2.5
* brechts fix for #18855 r20763 wasnt merged, does this apply to 2.5?
svn merge https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/blender -r19820:HEAD
Notes:
* Game and sequencer RNA, and sequencer header are now out of date
a bit after changes in trunk.
* I didn't know how to port these bugfixes, most likely they are
not needed anymore.
* Fix "duplicate strip" always increase the user count for ipo.
* IPO pinning on sequencer strips was lost during Undo.
- CValue warning ShowDeprecationWarning("val = ob.attr", "val = ob['attr']"); had false positives because of python using getattr() internally. Only show the wanring now when a CValue is found.
- Py functions that accepted a vector and a GameObject were slowed down by PySequence_Check() first called on the GameObject, though this would fail it would try and get attributes from the game object - ending up in ~8 attribute lookups each time. Avoiding PySequence_Check() makes ob.getDistanceTo(otherOb) over twice as fast.
- Joystick hat events could crash the BGE for joysticks with more then 4 hats.
- PLY Import failed on PLY files from Carve, added some extra types.
so where foo is an int prop,
gameOb.get("foo") == 0, would end up returning a CValue int proxy.
This is more a problem for KX_GameObject since ListValues with python access mostly don't contain ints, strings, floats.
This also wont break games from 2.48 since the .get() function wasn't available.
- Deprecation warnings for using attribute access
- Added dictionary functions to KX_GameObject and ListValue
ob.get(key, default=None)
ob.has_key(key)
ob.has_key is important since there was no way to do something like hasattr(ob, "attr") which can be replaced by ob.has_key("attr") - (both still work of course).
ob.get is just useful in many cases where you want a property if it exists but can fallback to a default.
- CListValue::FindValue was adding a reference but the ~3 places it was used were releasing the reference. added a FindValue that accepts a const char* type to avoid converting python strings to STR_String.
- Removed/Commented some unused vars
- CValue::GetPropertyText() could return a temp reference to a variable on the stack, option wasnt used anywhere so removed.
- KX_ConstraintWrapper::GetConstraintId allows args but ignored them
- KX_ConstraintWrapper::PySetParam didnt return NULL on an error (messing up pythons exceptions).
- BLI_natstrcmp didnt return 0 when the while loop exited
- corrections to docs
- disallow calling controller.activate(actuator) when the controller is not active. (Raise a SystemError)
- Added 2 new attributes, CValue.name - deprecates CValue.getName(), KX_GameObject.children deprecated KX_GameObject.getChildren(), (same for getChildrenRecursive()).
This commit extends the technique of dynamic linked list to the logic
system to eliminate as much as possible temporaries, map lookup or
full scan. The logic engine is now free of memory allocation, which is
an important stability factor.
The overhead of the logic system is reduced by a factor between 3 and 6
depending on the logic setup. This is the speed-up you can expect on
a logic setup using simple bricks. Heavy bricks like python controllers
and ray sensors will still take about the same time to execute so the
speed up will be less important.
The core of the logic engine has been much reworked but the functionality
is still the same except for one thing: the priority system on the
execution of controllers. The exact same remark applies to actuators but
I'll explain for controllers only:
Previously, it was possible, with the "executePriority" attribute to set
a controller to run before any other controllers in the game. Other than
that, the sequential execution of controllers, as defined in Blender was
guaranteed by default.
With the new system, the sequential execution of controllers is still
guaranteed but only within the controllers of one object. the user can
no longer set a controller to run before any other controllers in the
game. The "executePriority" attribute controls the execution of controllers
within one object. The priority is a small number starting from 0 for the
first controller and incrementing for each controller.
If this missing feature is a must, a special method can be implemented
to set a controller to run before all other controllers.
Other improvements:
- Systematic use of reference in parameter passing to avoid unnecessary data copy
- Use pre increment in iterator instead of post increment to avoid temporary allocation
- Use const char* instead of STR_String whenever possible to avoid temporary allocation
- Fix reference counting bugs (memory leak)
- Fix a crash in certain cases of state switching and object deletion
- Minor speed up in property sensor
- Removal of objects during the game is a lot faster
controller.actuators[name] and controller.sensors[name]
Made a read-only sequence type for logic brick sensors and actuators which can access single items or be used like a list or dictionary.
We could use a python dictionary or CValueList but that would be slower to create.
So you can do...
for s in controller.sensors: print s
print controller.sensors["Sensor"]
print controller.sensors[0]
sensors = list(controller.sensors)
This sequence type keeps a reference to the proxy it came from and will raise an error on access if the proxy has been removed.
- when the attribute check function failed it didnt set an error raising a SystemError instead
- Rasterizer.getMaterialMode would never return KX_BLENDER_MULTITEX_MATERIAL
- PropertySensor value attribute checking function was always returning a fail.
- Vertex Self Shadow python script didnt update for meshes with modifiers.
I added module clearing before there was checks for invalid python objects, so now its not needed for BGE Builtin types at least.
also made the builtin modules get re-used if they already exist and clear all user modules when the game engine finishes so with Module-Py-Controllers the referenced modules are at least up to date when pressing Pkey.
- renamed generic attribute "isValid" to "invalid" since BL_Shader already uses isValid.
- Moved deprecation warnings from CValue
- removed unused KX_Scene::SetProjectionMatrix and KX_Scene::GetViewMatrix
- Added KX_Scene attributes "lights", "cameras", "objects_inactive", to allow access to objects in unseen layers (before the AddObject actuator adds them)
- KX_Camera deprecated cam.enableViewport(bool) for cam.isViewport which can be read as well.
- print CListValue errors only once.
- bge_api_validate_py.txt now validates modules as well as types.
- added missing functions and consts for epydoc modules. some of these in GameLogic.py still need sorting.
CListValue fixes
- Disable changing CValueLists that the BGE uses internally (scene.objects.append(1) would crash when drawing)
- val=clist+list would modify clist in place, now return a new value.
- clist.append([....]), was working like extend.
- clist.append(val) didnt work for most CValue types like KX_GameObjects.
Other changes
- "isValid" was always returning True.
- Set all errors for invalid proxy access to PyExc_SystemError (was using a mix of error types)
- Added PyObjectPlus::InvalidateProxy() to manually invalidate, though if python ever gains access again, it will make a new valid proxy. This is so removing an object from a scene can invalidate the object even if its stored elsewhere in a CValueList for eg.
PyObjectPlus::ProcessReplica() is now called when any of its subclasses are replicated.
This is important because PyObjectPlus::ProcessReplica() NULL's the 'm_proxy' python pointer I added recently.
Without this a replicated subclass of PyObjectPlus could have an invalid pointer (crashing the BGE).
This change also means CValue::AddDataToReplica() can be moved into CValue::ProcessReplica() since ProcessReplica is always called.
Some functions used
ProcessReplica(replica);
others
replica->ProcessReplica()
Use the second method everywhere so the PyObjectPlus's ProcessReplica() can be called from its subclasses.
Note that PyObjectPlus's ProcessReplica isnt used yet.
improved how attribute errors are set so each classes py_getattro function dosnt need to set an error if the attribute doesn't exist.
Now py_base_getattro sets an error on a NULL return value when no errors are set to avoid setting errors at multiple levels.
Separate getting a normal attribute and getting __dict__, was having to do too a check for __dict__ on each class (multiple times per getattro call from python) when its not used that often.
