ActionMap Concatenation

Download Code File

Before making the following changes, make backup copies of sim\engine\actionmap.* and fps\client\scripts\client.cs in the case you want to undo the changes.

In engine\sim\actionmap.h change the line

void dumpActionMap(const char* fileName, const bool append) const;

to read:

void dumpActionMap(const char* fileName, const bool append, const bool tempmap) const;

Replace your existing engine\sim\actionmap.cc file with the one attached to this resource then do a Build of the engine (a complete rebuild is NOT required).

Add the following script function to fps\client\scripts\client.cs:

function clientCmdCatActionMap(%a,%b)
{ // create a file called tempMap.cs
  // containing the contents of the actionMaps
  // %a and %b
  %a.save("~/client/tempMap.cs",false,true);
  %b.save("~/client/tempMap.cs",true,true);
  // compile the combined map and load it for use
  exec("~/client/tempMap.cs");
}

Example of script to concatenate one map onto another and activate the result:

// deactivate current map (in this case moveMap)
CommandToClient(%client, "PopActionMap", moveMap);
// concatenate myMap onto moveMap as TempMap
CommandToClient(%client, "CatActionMap", moveMap, myMap);
// activate the resulting TempMap
CommandToClient(%client, "PushActionMap", TempMap);

Example of script to deactivate the temporary map and restore the previous map:

// deactivate TempMap
CommandToClient(%client, "PopActionMap", TempMap);
// reactivate previous map (in this case moveMap)
CommandToClient(%client, "PushActionMap", moveMap);
