Before this, we unconditionally used the largest OuterRadius of all actors inside a mod for overscanning of blockable projectiles.
However, in many mods the only blockable actors are 1-cell walls, and even if there are gates like in TS, they usually aren't the largest actors in terms of hit-shape.
So this measure should save a bit of performance by reducing the overscan radius of blockable projectiles, especially in mods where walls are the only blocking actors.
- Rename Bits<T> to BitSet<T>.
- Implement set based helpers for BitSet<T>.
- When representing TargetTypes of ITargetable in various traits, use a BitSet<TargetableType> instead of HashSet<string> for better performance & reduced memory usage.
- Fix FieldLoader to trim input values when generating a BitSet<T>.
- Require T in BitSet<T> and BitSetAllocator<T> to be a class since it's just a marker value. This allows the JIT to instantiate generic code for these classes once, as they don't benefit from specialized code for T. (Typically JITs will generate shared code for all reference types, and unique code for every value type encountered).
This provides a more efficient way of determining the bounds by avoiding LINQ. A helper that works directly on arrays prevents allocation of an enumerator when the collection is know to be an array.
penev discovered that the RulesetLoaded functions of projectiles were
never being called, meaning that their blocking calculations were not
properly accounting for actors with large hitboxes.
The best fix for this is to change FindActorsOnLine to always account
for the largest actor's hit radius, rather than forcing callers to pass
the largest radius. Per the comment in Util.cs, as a result, move this
computation to ActorMap. I decided to simplify by not making a separate
calculation for actors that block projectiles only; this may cause a
small performance degradation as the search space is a bit larger.
Similarly to this, I've removed the ability to specify a search radius
manually. Because this is only a search radius, setting a value smaller
than the largest eligible actor makes no sense; that would lead to
completely inconsistent blocking. Setting a larger value, on the other
hand, would make no difference.
CreateEffectWarhead was the only place in core code any of these search
radii were set, and that's because 0 was a mysterious magic value that
made the warhead incapable of hitting actors. I replaced it with a
boolean flag that more clearly indicates the actual behaviour.
Fixes#14151.
The render bounds for an actor now include the area covered
by bibs, shadows, and any other widgets. In many cases this
area is much larger than we really want to consider for
tooltips and mouse selection.
An optional Margin is added to Selectable to support cases
like infantry, where we want the mouse area of the actor
to be larger than the drawn selection box.
This allows callers to efficiently enumerate these returned collections without the allocation and overhead imposed by the IEnumerable interface. All implementations were already returning arrays, so this only required a signature change.
