API

The ZScript API is vast and has some holes which are hard to explain. Some parts are implemented in ways that don't make sense to user code, but are fine to the engine. Because of this, the API shall be documented in pseudo-ZScript which gives an idea of how it works for the modder rather than for the engine.

Type Symbols

Integer and floating-point types have symbols which can be accessed through typename.name. Here is a list of them.

Integer types

  • Max

    Maximum value of type.

  • Min

    Minimum value of type.

Floating-point types

    Number of decimal digits in type.

  • Epsilon

    ε value of type.

  • Infinity

    ∞ value of type.

  • Mant_Dig

    Number of mantissa bits in type.

  • Max

    Maximum value of type.

  • Max_Exp

    Maximum exponent bits value of type.

Global Data

Global Functions

Class Handling

Type GetDefaultByType(TypeName);
Type New(class typename = ThisClass);
  • GetDefaultByType

    Gets the default value of any built-in type.

  • New

    Typically spelled lowercase (new), creates an object with type typename. Defaults to using the class of the calling object.

Random Number Generation

All of these functions may have [identifier] between the function name and the argument list to specify a named RNG table to use.

double FRandom(double min, double max);
double FRandomPick(double...);
int    Random(int min = 0, int max = 255);
int    Random2(uint mask = uint.Max);
int    RandomPick(int...);
void   SetRandomSeed(uint num);
  • FRandom

    Returns a random float between min and max.

  • FRandomPick

    Same as RandomPick, but with floats.

  • Random

    Returns a random integer between min and max.

  • Random2

    Returns a random integer value between -mask and mask. mask is used as a bit mask, so it is recommended to use a value of one less than a power of two (i.e. 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 255...)

  • RandomPick

    Returns one of the provided parameters randomly.

  • SetRandomSeed

    Sets the seed of the RNG table to num.

Math

Type   Abs(Type n);
double ATan2(double y, double x);
uint   BAM(double angle);
Type   Clamp(Type n, Type minimum, Type maximum);
Type   Max(Type n, Type maximum);
Type   Min(Type n, Type minimum);
double VectorAngle(double x, double y);
  • Abs

    Returns |n| (absolute of n.)

  • ATan2

    Computes the arctangent of y / x using the arguments' signs to determine the correct quadrant.

  • BAM

    Returns a byte angle of angle (degrees * (0x40000000 / 90.0).)

  • Clamp

    Returns n if n is more than minimum and less than maximum, or either of those values if it is not.

  • Max

    Returns n if n is less than maximum, or maximum.

  • Min

    Returns n if n is more than minimum, or minimum.

  • VectorAngle

    Same as ATan2, but with arguments reversed.

Sound

void  SetMusicVolume(float vol);
bool  S_ChangeMusic(string music_name, int order = 0, bool looping = true, bool force = false);
float S_GetLength(sound sound_id);
void  S_PauseSound(bool notmusic, bool notsfx);
void  S_ResumeSound(bool notsfx);
void  S_Sound(sound sound_id, int channel, float volume = 1, float attenuation = ATTN_NORM);
  • SetMusicVolume

    Sets the volume of the music relative to the user's volume. Range is 0-1, inclusive.

  • S_ChangeMusic

    Changes the music to music_name. If music_name is "*", the music will be set to the default music for this level. Will loop if looping is true. force will force the music to play even if a playlist (from the playlist console command) is playing.

    order may mean something different based on the music format:

    Format Meaning
    Tracker music (.mod, .xm, etc.) Specifies the order the song will start at.
    Multi-track .ogg, .flac, etc. Specifies the track to begin playing at.
    Any other format No meaning, will be ignored.
  • S_GetLength

    Returns the length of a sound in seconds. Potentially non-deterministic if all users in a networked game are not using the same sounds.

  • S_PauseSound

    Pauses music if notmusic is false and all game sounds if notsfx is false. Used for instance in the time stop power-up.

  • S_ResumeSound

    Resumes playing music and, if notsfx is false, all game sounds as well.

  • S_Sound

    Plays a sound (as defined in SNDINFO) from the calling object if it has world presence (is an actor or sector etc.)

    channel may be:

    Name Description
    CHAN_AUTO Automatically assigns the sound to a free channel (if one exists.)
    CHAN_BODY For footsteps and generally anything else.
    CHAN_ITEM For item pickups.
    CHAN_VOICE For player grunts.
    CHAN_WEAPON For weapon noises.
    CHAN_5 Extra sound channel.
    CHAN_6 Extra sound channel.
    CHAN_7 Extra sound channel.

    channel may also have the following flags applied with the binary OR operator |:

    Name Description
    CHAN_LISTENERZ Sound ignores height entirely, playing at the listener's vertical position.
    CHAN_LOOP Continues playing the sound on loop until it is stopped manually.
    CHAN_MAYBE_LOCAL Does not play sound to other players if the silent pickup compatibility flag is enabled.
    CHAN_NOPAUSE Does not pause in menus or when S_PauseSound is called.
    CHAN_NOSTOP Does not start a new sound if the channel is already playing something.
    CHAN_UI Does not record sound in saved games or demos.

    Additionally, CHAN_PICKUP is equivalent to CHAN_ITEM | CHAN_MAYBE_LOCAL.

    attenuation determines the drop-off distance of the sound. The higher the value, the quicker it fades. Constants include:

    Name Value Description
    ATTN_IDLE 1.001 Uses Doom's default sound attenuation.
    ATTN_NONE 0 Does not drop off at all, plays throughout the whole map.
    ATTN_NORM 1 Drops off using the close_dist and clipping_dist defined in SNDINFO. Default.
    ATTN_STATIC 3 Drops off quickly, at around 512 units.

vararg void ThrowAbortException(string format, ...);
  • MSTime

    Returns the number of milliseconds since the engine was started. Not deterministic.

  • ThrowAbortException

    Kills the VM and ends the game (without exiting) with a formatted error.

Types

Built-in Types

Array

While ZScript does not have proper user-facing generics, Array is one such type that does have a type parameter. It mirrors the internal TArray type.

struct Array<Type>
{
   void Clear();
   void Copy(array<Type> other);
   void Delete(uint index, int count = 1);
   uint Find(Type item) const;
   void Grow(uint amount);
   void Insert(uint index, Type item);
   uint Max() const;
   void Move(array<Type> other);
   bool Pop();
   uint Push(Type item);
   uint Reserve(uint amount);
   void Resize(uint amount);
   void ShrinkToFit();
   uint Size() const;
}
  • Clear

    Clears out the entire array.

  • Copy

    Copies another array's contents into this array.

  • Delete

    Deletes count object(s) at index. Moves objects after them into their place.

  • Find

    Finds the index of item in the array, or Size if it couldn't be found.

  • Grow

    Ensures the array can hold at least amount new members.

  • Insert

    Inserts item at index. Moves objects after index to the right.

  • Max

    Returns the allocated size of the array.

  • Move

    Moves another array's contents into this array.

  • Pop

    Deletes the last item in the array. Returns false if there are no items in the array.

  • Push

    Places item at the end of the array, calling Grow if necessary.

  • Reserve

    Adds amount new entries at the end of the array, increasing Size. Calls Grow if necessary.

  • Resize

    Changes the allocated array size to amount. Deletes members if amount is smaller than Size.

  • ShrinkToFit

    Shrinks the allocated array size Max to Size.

  • Size

    Returns the amount of objects in the array.

Color

Colors simply store red, green, blue and alpha components. Each component has a range 0 to 255, inclusive.

struct Color
{
   uint8 r, g, b, a;
}

FixedArray

Fixed-size arrays have a size method attached to them for convenience purposes.

struct FixedArray
{
   uint Size() const;
}
  • Size

    Returns the size of the array. This is a compile-time constant.

String

struct String
{
   static vararg string Format(string format, ...);

   vararg void AppendFormat(string format, ...);

   string CharAt(int pos) const;
   int    CharCodeAt(int pos) const;
   string Filter();
   int    IndexOf(string substr, int start = 0) const;
   string Left(int len) const;
   uint   Length() const;
   string Mid(int pos = 0, int len = int.Max) const;
   void   Remove(int index, int amount);
   void   Replace(string pattern, string replacement);
   int    RightIndexOf(string substr, int end = int.Max) const;
   void   Split(out array<string> tokens, string delimiter, EmptyTokenType keepEmpty = TOK_KEEPEMPTY) const;
   double ToDouble() const;
   int    ToInt(int base = 0) const;
   void   ToLower();
   void   ToUpper();
   void   Truncate(int newlen);

   deprecated("3.5.1") int LastIndexOf(string substr, int end = int.Max) const;
}
  • Format

    Creates a string using a format string and any amount of arguments.

  • AppendFormat

    Works like Format, but appends the result to the string.

  • CharAt

    Returns the character at pos as a new string.

  • CharCodeAt

    Returns the character at pos as an integer.

  • Filter

    Replaces escape sequences in a string with escaped characters as a new string.

  • IndexOf

    Returns the first index of substr starting from the left at start.

  • Left

    Returns the first len characters as a new string.

  • Length

    Returns the number of characters in this string.

  • Mid

    Returns len characters starting at pos as a new string.

  • Remove

    Removes amount characters starting at index in place.

  • Replace

    Replaces all instances of pattern with replacement in place.

  • RightIndexOf

    Returns the first index of substr starting from the right at end.

  • Split

    Splits the string by each delimiter into tokens. keepEmpty may be either TOK_SKIPEMPTY (the default) or TOK_KEEPEMPTY, which will keep or discard empty strings found while splitting.

  • ToDouble

    Interprets the string as a double precision floating point number.

  • ToInt

    Interprets the string as a base base integer, guessing the base if it is 0.

  • ToLower

    Converts all characters in the string to lowercase in place.

  • ToUpper

    Converts all characters in the string to uppercase in place.

  • Truncate

    Truncates the string to len characters in place.

  • LastIndexOf

    Broken. Use RightIndexOf instead.

TextureID

Texture IDs can be explicitly converted to integers, but not the other way around. You can add and subtract integers with a textureid, however. (This only works with the integer on the right hand side.)

struct TextureID
{
   bool Exists() const;
   bool IsNull() const;
   bool IsValid() const;
   void SetInvalid();
   void SetNull();
}
  • Exists

    Checks if the texture exists within the texture manager at all.

  • IsNull

    Checks if the texture is the null index (0.)

  • IsValid

    Checks if the texture index is not the invalid index (-1.)

  • SetInvalid

    Sets the texture index to -1.

  • SetNull

    Sets the texture index to 0.

    The proper way to zero-initialize a textureid is:

    textureid tex;
    tex.SetNull();
    

Vector2/Vector3

struct Vector2
{
   double x, y;

   double  Length() const;
   vector2 Unit() const;
}

struct Vector3
{
   double x, y, z;
   vector2 xy;

   double  Length() const;
   vector3 Unit() const;
}
  • Length

    Returns the length (magnitude) of the vector.

  • Unit

    Returns a normalized vector. Equivalent to vec / vec.Length().

Base Objects

Object

The base class of all class types.

class Object
{
   bool bDESTROYED;

   class  GetClass();
   string GetClassName();
   class  GetParentClass();

   virtualscope void Destroy();

   virtual virtualscope void OnDestroy();
}
  • bDESTROYED

    This object wants to be destroyed but has not yet been garbage collected.

  • GetClass

    Returns the class type of this object.

  • GetClassName

    Returns a string representation of the class type of this object.

  • GetParentClass

    Returns the class type of this object's parent class.

  • Destroy

    Destroys this object. Do not use the object after calling this. References to it will be invalidated.

  • OnDestroy

    Called just before the object is collected by the garbage collector. Not deterministic unless the object is linked into the thinker list, in which case it is destroyed earlier in a deterministic setting. Not all Thinkers are linked into this list, so be careful when overriding this. Any Actor will generally be safe.

Thinker

A class representing any object in the game that runs logic every game tick, i.e., "thinks." Most classes derive from Thinker, directly or indirectly.

All thinkers are grouped by their "stat" number, or "statnum," which specifies the ordering of which thinkers are run, first to last. There are 127 stat numbers total, 20 of which are not used by the engine and may be used for any purpose.

The user-defined stat numbers begin at Thinker.STAT_USER and end at Thinker.STAT_USER_MAX. Do not attempt to use normal integers as stat numbers except as relative to these two.

(Note to authors: These tables are not alphabetically organized as their ordering is meaningful.)

Thinkers which do not think and are elided from many checks:

Name Description
Thinker.STAT_INFO Info queue (used by SpecialSpot and its descendants.)
Thinker.STAT_DECAL Decals that cannot be deleted.
Thinker.STAT_AUTODECAL Decals that can be deleted (were not placed by the map.)
Thinker.STAT_CORPSEPOINTER An entry in Hexen's corpse queue.
Thinker.STAT_TRAVELLING Any actor travelling between maps in a hub.
Thinker.STAT_STATIC Thinkers persistent across maps.

Thinkers which do think and are mandatory to many checks:

Name Description
Thinker.STAT_SCROLLER Texture scrollers and carriers.
Thinker.STAT_PLAYER All PlayerPawn actors.
Thinker.STAT_BOSSTARGET BossBrain targets.
Thinker.STAT_LIGHTNING Lightning as used by Hexen.
Thinker.STAT_DECALTHINKER Decal animators.
Thinker.STAT_INVENTORY All Inventory items.
Thinker.STAT_LIGHT Sector lighting thinkers.
Thinker.STAT_LIGHTTRANSFER Sector lighting transfer thinkers.
Thinker.STAT_EARTHQUAKE Quake effects.
Thinker.STAT_MAPMARKER All MapMarker actors.
Thinker.STAT_DLIGHT Dynamic lights.
Thinker.STAT_DEFAULT Anything not in any other category. Most actors go here.
Thinker.STAT_SECTOREFFECT Sector effects that cause floor or ceiling movement.
Thinker.STAT_ACTORMOVER All ActorMover actors.
Thinker.STAT_SCRIPTS The ACS VM.
Thinker.STAT_BOT All bot logic. This is not bound to their actor.
class Thinker play
{
   const TICRATE;

   virtual void ChangeStatNum(int stat);
   virtual void PostBeginPlay();
   virtual void Tick();

   static clearscope int Tics2Seconds(int tics);
}
  • TICRATE

    The number of game ticks in a second. This value is always int(35).

  • ChangeStatNum

    Changes the statnum of this Thinker.

  • PostBeginPlay

    Called at the very end of this Thinker's initialization.

  • Tick

    Called every game tick. The order between this thinker's Tick and every other thinker in the same statnum is unspecified.

  • Tics2Seconds

    Roughly converts a number of tics to an integral amount of seconds. Equivalent to tics / TICRATE.

CVar

A Console Variable, either defined in CVARINFO or by the engine. Not serializable. Do not use as a member unless marked as transient.

All Get and Set operations will work regardless of the real type of the CVar, as they aren't "strongly" typed.

struct CVar
{
   static CVar FindCVar(name n);
   static CVar GetCVar(name n, PlayerInfo player = null);

   bool   GetBool();
   double GetFloat();
   int    GetInt();
   string GetString();

   void SetBool(bool v);
   void SetFloat(double v);
   void SetInt(int v);
   void SetString(string v);

   int GetRealType();
   int ResetToDefault();
}
  • FindCVar

    Returns a server CVar by name, or null if none is found.

  • GetCVar

    Returns a user or server CVar by name, with player as the user if applicable, or null if none is found.

  • GetBool

    Returns a boolean representing the value of the CVar, or false if it cannot be represented.

  • GetFloat

    Returns a float representing the value of the CVar, or 0.0 if it cannot be represented.

  • GetInt

    Returns an integer representing the value of the CVar, or 0 if it cannot be represented.

  • GetString

    Returns a string representing the value of the CVar. CVars can always be represented as strings.

  • SetBool

  • SetFloat

  • SetInt

  • SetString

    Sets the representation of the CVar to v. May only be used on mod-defined CVars.

  • GetRealType

    Returns the type of the CVar as it was defined, which may be one of the following:

    Name
    CVar.CVAR_Bool
    CVar.CVAR_Color
    CVar.CVAR_Float
    CVar.CVAR_Int
    CVar.CVAR_String
  • ResetToDefault

    Resets the CVar to its default value and returns 0. The purpose of the return is unknown. May only be used on mod-defined CVars.

GIFont

A font as defined in MAPINFO/GameInfo.

struct GIFont
{
   name Color;
   name FontName;
}
  • Color

    The color of the font.

  • FontName

    The name of the font.

State

Represents a state on an Actor or StateProvider. Data in State is read-only and is copied as needed to its respective locations for modification, as it is merely a look into the global constant state table.

}
  • Frame

    The sprite frame of this state.

  • NextState

    A pointer to the next state in the global state table.

  • Sprite

    The sprite ID of this state.

  • Tics

    The number of game ticks this state lasts.

  • Misc1

  • Misc2

    Primarily used in DeHackEd compatibility. Don't use this.

  • TicRange

    The maximum amount of tics to add for random tic durations, or 0 if the duration is not random. For example, TNT1 A random(5, 7) would have a Tics value of 5 and a TicRange of 2.

  • UseFlags

    The scope of this state. See Action Scoping. Can have any of the DefaultStateUsage flags.

  • bCANRAISE

    State has the CANRAISE flag, allowing A_VileChase to target this actor for healing without entering an infinitely long state.

  • bDEHACKED

    true if the state has been modified by DeHackEd.

  • bFAST

    State has the FAST flag, halving the duration when fast monsters is enabled.

  • bFULLBRIGHT

    State has the BRIGHT flag, making it fully bright regardless of other lighting conditions.

  • bNODELAY

    State has the NODELAY flag, forcing the associated action function to be run if the actor is in its first tic.

  • bSAMEFRAME

    true if the state's frame is to be kept from the last frame used, i.e., is #.

  • bSLOW

    State has the SLOW flag, doubling the duration when slow monsters is enabled.

  • DistanceTo

    Returns the offset between this state and other in the global frame table. Only works if both states are owned by the same actor.

  • ValidateSpriteFrame

    Returns true if the sprite frame actually exists.

  • GetSpriteTexture

    Returns the texture, if the texture should be flipped horizontally, and scaling of this state's sprite. Scaling will return scale unless skin is nonzero. skin determines the player skin used.

StringTable

The localized string table as defined by LANGUAGE.

struct StringTable
{
   static string Localize(string val, bool prefixed = true);
}
  • Localize

    Returns the localized variant of val. If prefixed is true, the string is returned as-is unless it is prefixed with $ where the $ character itself is ignored. Not deterministic unless there is only one variant of val. This is generally fine because this should only be used for visual strings anyway.

PSprite

A Player Sprite, paradoxically, is not the player themself, but the sprite within their view, such as their weapon. PSprites are arbitrarily layered by number, somewhat similar to HUDMessages. They are drawn ordered from lowest to highest.

The predefined layers are:

Name Value Description
PSprite.Flash 1000 The layer used by A_GunFlash for gun flashes.
PSprite.StrifeHands -1 The hands brought up by A_ItBurnsItBurns when the player in Strife dies of fire.
PSprite.TargetCenter int.Max - 2 The middle of the targeting system view in Strife.
PSprite.TargetLeft int.Max - 1 The left side of the targeting system view in Strife.
PSprite.TargetRight int.Max The right side of the targeting system view in Strife.
PSprite.Weapon 1 The default layer for all weapons.
