Variable raise and lower in DECORATE

[Nevander]

It might come it handy (and for ease of use) to have a way to give a speed multiplier to A_Raise and A_Lower like in the example on the wiki, except without needing to do two lines and make the first one a 0 tic. Something like A_Raise(2) to raise twice as fast and A_Lower(0.5) to lower at half speed.

So as an example, this:

Code: Select all

TNT1 A 0 A_Raise
TNT1 A 1 A_Raise
Loop

For twice as fast would become:

Code: Select all

TNT1 A 1 A_Raise(2)
Loop

Good? Bad? Useless?

Oops. Sorry for not searching first... either way, any chance this could be implemented in the future?

Note that you can also do this:
TNT1 A 1 { A_Raise; A_Raise; }

Addendum: IF you are on 2.9pre aka devbuilds from the DRD team.

Yes, however it causes weird problems.

Indeed. Calling these multiple times in the same state does not work right.

Oops. This has been in for some time now, so this thread can go.
