PowerupGiver properties

• Powerup.Color color [, alpha]

• Powerup.Color BlueMap
• Powerup.Color GoldMap
• Powerup.Color GreenMap
• Powerup.Color InverseMap
• Powerup.Color RedMap
• Powerup.Color None

Specifies the color and the opacity of the screen blend that is used when the powerup is active. Color is specified either as three integers (DECORATE only), an "RR GG BB" string or a color name from the X11R6RGB lump. Alpha is optional, and is a value between 0.0 and 1.0, defaulting to 0.33333 if not specified. Instead of specifying a color you can also use the predefined values BlueMap, GoldMap, GreenMap, InverseMap and RedMap. These do not set a blending value but instead use a predefined blend.

Using a color value of None for a PowerupGiver, results in having no screen blend. Setting an arbitrary color with zero alpha, instead, to override the powerup's own does not achieve the same task.

• Powerup.Colormap [sourcecolor, ]destcolor

A generalization of the colormaps (which, counter-intuitively, are used with Powerup.Color), this creates a color ramp from the source color to the destination color. This uses decimal numbers for the red, green, blue components, ranging from 0.0 to 1.0, inclusive. If only one color is provided, then black (0.0, 0.0, 0.0) is used as the source color. For example, Powerup.Colormap 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 and Powerup.Colormap 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 both create a grayscale, Powerup.Colormap 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 creates the well known inverse map and Powerup.Colormap 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0 creates a red to green effect.

• Powerup.Duration time

The length of time the power up will last in tics (1/35 of a second). If a negative duration is given, it will be taken as the duration in seconds (e.g., -30 is half a minute, while 30 is less than a second). The maximum duration is 0x7FFFFFFF, which corresponds to about two years of real time and can therefore safely be used for permanent powerups. Note, however, that due to the design of the TimeFreezer powerup, using such a duration value for this powerup is not recommended, as the engine will add two tics to the powerup's duration if the duration's value was even and the powerup was activated on an odd game tic, resulting in a signed overflow error. A value of 0x7FFFFFFD is safe to use in such a case.

• Powerup.Mode mode

For some powerups which may behave in different ways, specify the mode. Currently affects Invulnerability, Invisibility and Environment protection.

• Invulnerability modes: None and Reflective. "None" is invulnerability without any added effect. "Reflective" also makes all projectiles bounce off of the player while the powerup is in effect.
• Invisibility modes: Cumulative, Fuzzy, Opaque, Stencil and Translucent. "Cumulative" allow multiple invisibility powerups of the same type to stack when active at the same time, adding their strength value together. "Fuzzy" uses the fuzz effect renderstyle, like that of the spectre. "Opaque" results in an opaque renderstyle, making the actor not invisible graphically speaking. "Stencil" uses the stencil renderstyle, showing just the shape. "Translucent" is merely a way of explicitly specifying the default invisibility mode.
• Environment protection modes: Normal and Full. "Normal" is environment protection's default mode. "Full" is total-protection mode. It is similar to "Normal", but it also protects against the types of damaging floors that the "Normal" mode does not protect against, whether it is partial protection or not.

• Powerup.Strength strength

The magnitude of a powerup's effect. Currently applies to Invisibility and Regeneration, as other powerups have unquantifiable effects or use predetermined fields such as DamageFactor.

• Invisibility strength: determines how translucent the affected actor becomes. 0 is for opaque, and 100 is for fully invisible. Does not apply to "Fuzzy" mode.
• Regeneration strength: determines the amount of health regenerated.

• Powerup.Type power_name

The type of powerup given when item is used. This must be the name of an existing powerup. In DECORATE only, when passing the powerup's name, the "Power" prefix is optional and may be left out.
