A_OverlayOffset

A_OverlayOffset [(int layer[, float x[, float y[, int flags]]]])]

Usage

Works just like A_WeaponOffset with the ability to adjust other layers, and can be called by weapons, players and inventory items. Offsets a weapon by the defined amount of x and y similar to the Offset frame keyword. This function has the following differences from the aforementioned Offset ability:

• Offsets are floats, not integers.
• Offsets are not lost when firing a weapon.
• Offsets stack on top of weapon bobbing and behave independently, allowing A_WeaponReady calls to it with the WRF_NOBOB flag.
• Specifying the default coordinates does not serve as a preservative. They are absolute.
• Offsets can go beyond screen limitations.
• Because this is an action function itself, Decorate expressions can be used.

NOTE: If an overlay has PSPF_ADDWEAPON, it will inherit the weapon's offsets, which default to (0,32) if none is specified. This should be kept in mind when offsetting the overlay. Simply set the X and Y offsets to 0 to have the overlay follow the weapon's position. This does not apply to A_WeaponOffset as that strictly targets the weapon layer itself, never overlays.

Parameters

• layer - The layer to adjust.
• x - Adjusts horizontal position based on positive (right) or negative (left) numbers. Default is 0.
• y - Adjusts vertical position. Default is 32. Larger values lower the weapon, and vice versa.
• flags - Flags can be combined with the | separator.

• WOF_KEEPX - x parameter will not be used.
• WOF_KEEPY - y parameter will not be used.
• WOF_ADD - Adds the current x and y parameters to the current offsets instead of overriding them. Also implies interpolation (see below).
• WOF_INTERPOLATE - Interpolates the offset between tics, smoothing out the animation.
