ZDoom

[quote="Graf Zahl"]compiler screwing things up badly[/quote]
Like how, for example? Actor class, defined in gzdoom pack, definition turns into mess from code from all files?

[quote="Major Cooke"]Different translation units?[/quote]
Roughly speaking, single zscript file is a single translation unit which gzdoom translate (turn text in it to bytecode) using magic. Different translation units -> different zscript files.
I dont know how exactly zscript compiler work, but I think it translate each file separately and then combine it into one single file, which cause conflicts between "extended" and "default" actors.

Different translation units?

The blocker is that the compiler cannot combine parts of different translation units without screwing things up badly.

If you don't mind me asking; what stopped the progress on this feature? In a related discussion over six months ago, Graf said he was "[i]almost done exporting PlayerPawn which is the last remaining blocker for allowing user-side extends of class Actor[/i]" ([url=https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=63016]source[/url]).

Just so this isn't forgotten. I understand priorities are currently elsewhere so this is just here as a reminder, seeing as Actor now has the path cleared.
