Get an actor's args?

[LilWhiteMouse]

Is there a way in ACS to get the args set on an actor? I could have sworn that you could do this with GetActorProperty(), but I see no mention of it on the wiki. I've gone to make a number of configurable decorations for Chibi Rebellion only to be stymied when I couldn't figure out how to control it's behavior with it's args. Am I going crazy(er)?

With ACS? All I can see at the moment is a workaround with user variables.

Define a variable array in the actor's DECORATE code:

Code: Select all

Actor Blah : BlahBlah
{
   var int user_args[5];
   blah properties blah
   States
   {
   Spawn:
       BLAH A 0 // Dummy first frame
       BLAH A 0 A_SetUserArray(user_args, 0, args[0])
       BLAH A 0 A_SetUserArray(user_args, 1, args[1])
       BLAH A 0 A_SetUserArray(user_args, 2, args[2])
       BLAH A 0 A_SetUserArray(user_args, 3, args[3])
       BLAH A 0 A_SetUserArray(user_args, 4, args[4])
    Idle: // Fallthrough
       BLAH A 35
       Loop
    }
}

Then from ACS you can use [wiki]GetUserArray[/wiki]. It's a bit of kludge, though.

It works, so that's good enough for me.

Define a variable array in the actor's DECORATE code:

What if the user doesn't have permission to make DECORATE code for this to happen? For example if belonging to a community project.
