==Anatomy of an Object Code== | |||
Set | ===Initialization=== | ||
Set | To start the object initialization, the object is called via a Macro preset<ref>[https://github.com/n64decomp/sm64/blob/master/include/macro_presets.inc.c#L47 Goomba Macro Preset]</ref> from the level script, which will prompt it initialization with the attached BehaviorScript. The BehaviorScript is then fetched in [https://github.com/n64decomp/sm64/blob/master/data/behavior_data.c data/behavior_data.c] to start initializaing the object.<br> | ||
Load animation or | ''Note : The following order is not consistent over the whole code. The collision data for example is loaded at different point depending on the BehaviorScript in question. | ||
Set object specific values (Home, physic, drop to floor) - > | ===Set Object List=== | ||
The first action of any BehaviorScript is to set the Object List (Or [[Objects#Object_Groups|Object Groups]]) of an object, this categorizes the object in their processing order | |||
===Set Collision data=== | |||
Scripts of the "SURFACE" object group will load their collision data. This collision data is fetched from the level structure. For example, here is the [https://github.com/n64decomp/sm64/blob/master/levels/jrb/falling_pillar_base/collision.inc.c#L2 Falling Pillar collision data]. | |||
===Set Object Flag=== | |||
Another early action is to set the object flags of the object, these typically represent value to constantly take into account at every processing frame or high level operations to execute. For a Goomba, those are OBJ_FLAG_COMPUTE_ANGLE_TO_MARIO, OBJ_FLAG_COMPUTE_DIST_TO_MARIO, OBJ_FLAG_SET_FACE_YAW_TO_MOVE_YAW, OBJ_FLAG_UPDATE_GFX_POS_AND_ANGLE. This means that, every frame, the Goomba's Angle to Mario and Distance to Mario will be calculated and that its Yaw and graphical data will be updated | |||
===Load Animation or Model=== | |||
For objects that are not part of the "SURFACE" group, the animation or model will be loaded. Animations are located in the subfolder of the object in the [https://github.com/n64decomp/sm64/tree/master/actors Actors list]. As an example, for a Goomba, the animation data is located at [https://github.com/n64decomp/sm64/tree/master/actors/goomba/anims /actors/goomba/anims] | |||
