AttackZOffset as exposed variable?

[Ed the Bat]

There are situations where I need to dynamically upscale players. So far, I'm able to change the size of their sprite, and I'm still patiently waiting on progress from DOOMERO-21's suggestion to expose viewheight as a customizable variable. Along with these, one piece of the puzzle still missing is the ability to change AttackZOffset. Can this be exposed in ACS, or is this another deeply-buried property that would need something more robust, like DoomScript?

Since this and ViewHeight come hand-in-hand, these patches define both APROP_ViewHeight and APROP_AttackZOffset in ACS, which do what you'd expect them to (see [wiki]SetActorProperty[/wiki]). (N.B. these are [wiki]fixed point numbers[/wiki])

EDIT: btw, is there any particular reason to use this instead of morphing player classes?

I can't tell you how big a smile this will put on my face if this makes it in!

Lack of viewbob, possibly?

This, and the issue with health and armor getting rewritten when morphing/unmorphing, which will have to happen between levels since morphs don't last more than one map. Plus, only one morph can be active at a time, so it the player needs to be morphed for something else, this would get in the way.

I even tried making a feature suggestion (as well as asking in Editing what might be missing in the source code) for morph viewbobs, but never got a response.
