ClientScriptGlobal is a new Worldstate packet that handles short, long and float values for global variables in clientside scripts.
Previously, short values were handled by the ScriptGlobalShort packet, while a partially implemented ScriptGlobalFloat packet also existed, but both of those packets were Object packets because they were added near the end of 2016 when only Player and Object packets existed (with the latter actually being called WorldEvent packets at the time). Both ScriptGlobalShort and ScriptGlobalFloat have now been removed.
The serverside script functions previously used to interact with ScriptGlobalShort have, however, been kept so they can be adjusted to work with local variables in clientside scripts instead in a future commit.
ObjectHit is now also sent when local actors succeed or fail in hitting other actors with melee attacks, with the packet including the success state of their attack.
It is also sent when creatures hit a non-actor object.
Previously, each client chose its own attack animations for DedicatedPlayers and DedicatedActors based on the direction they were walking in, which however led to desyncs for players with "Always Use Best Attack" enabled and for creatures which pick their attack animations randomly.
Rename the old WorldKillCount that was a Player packet into PlayerPlaceholder. Rename the unused CellCreate that was a Worldstate packet into WorldKillCount. On the server, move kill count-related script functions from QuestFunctions to WorldstateFunctions.
For starters, the new packet can set which client scripts have all of their variables synchronized between players. The previous hardcoded list of IDs for synchronized scripts has been removed.
Previously, the player's currently selected weapon was being used in ranged attacks as in the original melee-oriented attack sync, which meant that shooting one type of projectile and then equipping another while the old projectile was still in the air turned the old projectile into the new projectile upon impact.
Additionally, avoid running most of the code in MechanicsHelper::assignAttackTarget() for non-hitting melee and ranged attacks.
This is done by including the final attackStrength used for ranged attacks in packets and then applying it in WeaponAnimation::releaseArrow() on other clients.
Projectile hits now send Attack packets with RANGED attacks, and their success or failure is now synchronized.
Strike enchantments no longer require a valid victim to be synchronized.
Additional debug messages have been added for attacks.
