Some path searches, using PathSearch, were created directly at the callsite rather than using the pathfinder trait. This means some searches did not not benefit from the performance checks done in the pathfinder trait. It also means the pathfinder trait was not responsible for all pathing done in the game. Fix this with the following changes:
- Create a sensible shape for the IPathFinder interface and promote it to a trait interface, allowing theoretical replacements of the implementation. Ensure none of the concrete classes in OpenRA.Mods.Common.Pathfinder are exposed in the interface to ensure this is possible.
- Update the PathFinder class to implement the interface, and update several callsites manually running pathfinding code to instead call the IPathFinder interface.
- Overall, this allows any implementation of the IPathFinder interface to intercept and control all path searching performed by the game. Previously some searches would not have used it, and no alternate implementations were possible as the existing implementation was hardcoded into the interface shape.
Additionally:
- Move the responsibility of finding paths on completed path searches from pathfinder to path search, which is a more sensible location.
- Clean up the pathfinder pre-search optimizations.
Requires<T> means that trait of type T will be initialized first, and asserts that at least one exists. The new NotBefore<T> means that trait of type T will be initialized first, but allows no traits.
This allows traits to control initialization order for optional dependencies. They want to be initialized second so they can rely on the dependencies having been initialized. But if the dependencies are optional then to not throw if none are present.
We apply this to Locomotor which was previously using AddFrameEndTask to work around trait order initialization. This improves the user experience as the initialization is applied whilst the loading screen is still visible, rather than the game starting and creating jank by performing initialization on the first tick.
Actor previously cached targetable locations for static actors as an optimization. As we can no longer reference the IPositionable interface, move this optimization to HitShape instead. Although we lose some of the efficiency of caching the final result on the actor, we gain some by allowing HitShape to cache the results as long as they have not changed. So instead of being limited to static actors, we can extend the caching to currently stationary actor.
- Rename CostForInvalidCell to PathCostForInvalidPath
- Add MovementCostForUnreachableCell
- Update usages of int.MaxValue and short.Maxvalue to use named constants where relevant.
- Update costs on ICustomMovementLayer to return short, for consistency with costs from Locomotor.
- Rename some methods to distinguish between path/movement cost.
* TSVeinsRenderer now shows border cells on the radar
* BuildableTerrainLayer now uses the radar colors defined on the individual tiles
* CliffBackImpassabilityLayer no longer overrides the underlying terrain color.
While they may be only 'visual' in terms of influence/cell grid,
they all do update CenterPosition, which is essentially the
actual world position of the actor.
'Visual' would imply that it only affects the position where the
actor is drawn, which is inaccurate.
Furthermore, using the term 'Visual' here would make
naming future methods/properties related to visual interpolation
unnecessarily complicated, because that's where we might
need a real 'Visual(Only)Position'.
This allows TraitInfos to act when the actor preview is placed
in the editor, returning arbitrary data which the editor stores
and gives back if the preview is removed.
- Removed implicit pip definitions and IPips interface.
New decoration traits have been added to render them.
Pip types are no longer hardcoded in OpenRA.Game.
- Decoration rendering is now managed by SelectionDecorations(Base),
which allows us to remove assumptions about the selection box
geometry from the decoration traits.
- RenderNameTag has been replaced by WithNameTagDecoration, which is
an otherwise normal decoration trait.
- Unify the configuration and reduce duplication between traits.
- Removed hardcoded references to specific selection box renderables.
- Remove legacy cruft.
