Allow multiple defines for Player.MorphWeapon

[kevansevans]

With current behavior, if you define multiple weapons in a morph class, it will only grant the last defined weapon. In this example:

Code: Select all • Expand view

Player.MorphWeapon "WeaponA";
Player.MorphWeapon "WeaponB";
Player.MorphWeapon "WeaponC";


The player will only be granted WeaponC because it is defined last. The desired behavior should be that all three weapons (or more) are granted.

With the existing morph system this likely would be a lot of work. Having a morph active will block you from switching weapons, and this is by design from the original Heretic/Hexen implementation of it.

I take it that this weapon limitation isn't the same sort of list of weapons that a default player uses? I imagine it would be an easier path if treated so, as having a singular weapon in this list (as in the case of heretic/hexen) would behave exactly the same as denying the ability to switch weapons.

I really prefer not to touch the morph code - it was one of those features that in hindsight should never have been added in their current form.

That's understandable, even working with it in ZScript feels super hacky. I'd volunteer to figure it out if I was any decent with C++. Is any of the morph code exposed in ZScript? I couldn't find anything poking around.

EDIT: Found some parts of it, but definitely nothing accessible that I can change this behavior and offer it as a pull request. Oh well! I'll take the No on this one, maybe bump it if I ever decided to dig my teeth into the deeper source.
