[Added] Accuracy and Stamina in DECORATE/ACS expressions

[Xaser]

An implementation of this request, this patch changes accuracy and stamina to general actor properties and exposes them in DECORATE and ACS.

Simply put, this patch adds accuracy and stamina as DECORATE variables, and also adds APROP_Accuracy and APROP_Stamina actor properties that can be accessed via GetActorProperty and SetActorProperty.

With this, Strife's built-in accuracy and stamina stats can now be properly utilized in DECORATE by new weapons and modified at will by ACS-based systems. The biggest advantage to this, naturally, is being able to mod Strife without having to recreate the system already in place, though the properties can be of use in other areas if one is so inclined.

Nice! this would certainly come in handy for my strifeproject.

[Graf Zahl]

Nice.

However, since you moved critical info from one class to another this can't be done without a savegame version bump.

[Xaser]

Ah, yes. I neglected to mention/address that. Thanks for the add anyhow.

For the record, is bumping it just a matter of incrementing MINSAVEVER? Just want to know for next time it comes up.

[Graf Zahl]

Nom, MINSAVEVERSION is thw value to change. It has to be set to the SVN revision that implements the breaking change.

Oh, and before I forget: The new constants also needed to be added to the ACC headers.

[XutaWoo]

Sweeeeet.

Hell yes.

And just for the record, these variables are also available for monsters and could be used as general purpose variables to control attack behavior or whatever else you'd like to do.

Ooh, that could be interesting.

...So why can't we get a pitch-getting thing for A_FaceTarget, again?

[Ryan Cordell]

Because it's not being used anywhere, duh!

[NeuralStunner]

It'd be more useful in monster coding than these would, really. Unless the Stamina var allows you to raise a monster's max Health, you might as well stick with UserVars.

[Nash]

I lol'd.

If this managed to get in, I think monster pitch should be revisited and reconsidered.

[Graf Zahl]

Why?

This is something that already existed and only needed access.

Also, this kind of nagging won't get you your features any quicker.
