[ZScript] Kind of Actors seen by BlockThingsIterator ?

[vsonnier]

Hello all, I have the following kind of Handler code, to lookup for some types of actors close to the player and do things accordingly :

Code: Select all

const LOOKUP_MAX_DISTANCE = 60;

class MyHandler : EventHandler
{
	override void WorldTick(void)
	{ 
		PlayerInfo p = players[consoleplayer];
		if (!p) return;

		// look for Things around the player, but no more than LOOKUP_MAX_DISTANCE away
		BlockThingsIterator it = BlockThingsIterator.Create(p.mo, LOOKUP_MAX_DISTANCE );
		while (it.Next())
		{
			Actor mo = it.thing;
			
			Console.PrintF("MyHandler::WorldTick ENTER, found Thing = %s ",mo.GetClassName());
			
			// do stuff...
		}//end while.
	}
}

The handler works and the BlockThingsIterator iterates over some types of actors: monsters, monster corpses, ammo, ...etc.. around the player, but not the kind I'm interested in in my particular case.
So I wonder what kind of flags a particular Actor class needs, to be "discovered" by the BlockThingsIterator ?
I've explored the GZDoom code for BlockThingsIterator but I didn't manage to guess what was needed.

It needs to not have +NOBLOCKMAP (or +NOINTERACTION, which implies +NOBLOCKMAP). That's about it.
