simulation
The purpose of weak_ptr is to avoid performing the simulation on deleted
Actor by promoting it to a shared_ptr via a lock() call. This clutter
the code with a lot of branches, whereas the overwhelmingly common case is for the call to succeed.
Since the simulation is decoupled from the engine state, we can use a shared_ptr instead of a weak_ptr.
This allow us to ignore (ie not handle) the rarer case where the actor is delete from the scene. This means that the simulation
will run for one frame more than before for each actor, whereas the rest of the engine
will be ignorant of this.
PhysicsSystem::traceDown before inserting into mActors.
The latter does nothing until the actor is inserted into mActors.
We can't move the call after the insertion either because then
the actor is part of the simulation, and we'd have a race.
collision handling and castRay() to avoid calling getPtr(). It is a step forward
removing the mutex inside of PtrHolder.
Do the same for DeepestNotMeContactTestResultCallback. It is used
only for not-ranged combat for now, but do it anyway for parity with all
other callback. This way, once the PtrHolder mutex is gone one will not
have to worry about wether it is safe to use the callback in a specific
context.
To avoid use-after-free with projectile / projectile collision, defer deletion of projectile.
Since instead of storing a copy of target Ptr we have a pointer to its collision object,
we can't delete projectiles until after we finished iterating over the loops.
MWWorld::Ptr:
- they are equivalent
- btCollisionObject* is readily available from the simulation, it saves
a call to a mutex
- btCollisionObject* is smaller
- compute the swimming state instead of storing it, it changes as part of the simulation and was not updated, so it was wrong anyway.
- store the swim level in ActorFrameData, it is constant per Actor so no need to compute it inside the simulation
ActActorFrameData structure. It makes it easier to reason about the
simulation (and hopefully simplify it).
Remove atomics from Actor class as a side effect.
Rename mFloatToSurface to mInert to make is explicit what it represent, not what it is used for
Store the Actor rotation (1 Vec2) instead of the whole ESM::Position (2 Vec3)
When we call moveObject(), we might trigger a change of cell for the
actor, which in turn triggers updatePtr(). The erase/emplace
construct invalidate references, whereas extract/insert do not.
The reason is was working before !1075 is because we were always
"refreshing" the reference by a call to getActor().
- inline PhysicsSystem::applyQueuedMovements() into PhysicsSystem::stepSimulation()
- rename PhysicsTaskScheduler::moveActors() to PhysicsTaskScheduler::applyQueuedMovements()
- move the actor movement code from World::doPhysics() to
PhysicsSystem::moveActors() (analogically to the projectile manager)
with a TTL of 0 frame. It helps performance when several subsystems
request the same LOS in the same frame (combat, headtracking, etc).
Except it doesn't work if the cache is never trimmed.
mCanWaterWalk was set to false and updated during next frame's simulation
mOnGround is set to true but then was updated as part of the scene
loading logic.
- default to 1 thread
- default to always use defered aabb update, remove option
- always keep a cache of LOS request for at least the current frame.
This decreases number of raycast, especially when a lot of actors are
involved and "NPCs avoid collisions" is on
