Renderstyle woe

[Blue Shadow]

Tested with:

• 2.8pre-495-g67c6690 (broken)
• 2.8pre-420-g3f8c723 (works)

In the attached file below, there is a simple actor with renderstyle translucent, which calls an ACS script that is supposed to change its renderstyle from translucent to stencil and back to translucent. Here is the script:

Code: Select all

Script "ChangeRStyle" (void)
{
  int rstyle = GetActorProperty(0, APROP_RenderStyle);

  If(rstyle == STYLE_Translucent) SetActorProperty(0, APROP_RenderStyle, STYLE_Stencil);
  Else SetActorProperty(0, APROP_RenderStyle, STYLE_Translucent);
}

However, when tested in game, the actor changes from its preset renderstyle (translucent) to what I think is shaded, and then to stencil.

My only guess is that something probably went wrong here.

I think I've found the culprit: the styles' ordering between LegacyRenderStyleIndices array and ERenderStyle enum doesn't match, which SetActorProperty appears to rely on when setting the appropriate renderstyle.


That or I have no idea what I'm talking about. Although, I ran the same test file above with a custom build I compiled which fixes the ordering, and it seems to produce correct results.

You pretty much hit the nail on the head, there.

Fixed.
