There are two major differences to the old implementation:
- Activate can now be called on its own, e.g. in the console. In Vanilla this appears to be a no-op, so it is unlikely to be used and the potential for breakage is low.
- The Action to execute is now determined when Activate is called, not when OnActivate is called. This however makes sense, since there may be a time difference between the two, and the object (or the player) could have changed in the meantime, requiring a different Action.
Fixes#1166 and #1346.
Don't actually do anything with it yet, but without this the "MW Containers Animated" mod made containers inaccessible.
Partly implements Feature #1067
This bug would cause the player to jump when jump was assigned to
Space and they closed a dialog with Space. I tested vanilla
MW for behaviour and found that Jump was the only basic input which
MW does not allow when closing dialogs (i.e. if Space is assigned to
move forward, MW will move you forward after closing the dialog).
There were two reasons for the bug:
1) OpenMW GUI does not consume UI events
2) Jump occurs so long as key is down (not only on first key down)
To minimally fix the bug, I made it so that keypress events can be
consumed by the GUI and not passed along to the player control
input manager (1). However, if the player holds space, they will still
jump (as the subsequent key held events will be captured and cause
a jump).
Unfortunately, there is no idiomatic way that I could find in the
OpenMW input manager to perform events only on key down. Instead,
I introduced a variable which tracks whether the jump key has been
pressed for the first time within the current frame (2).
Note: I was initially concerned that limiting the jump event to
KeyDown and not Key Hold would cause issues with swimming,
levitating, or variable height jumping. However, after a bunch
of testing in vanilla MW and exploration of the OpenMW codebase
I could find nothing suggesting the need to capture the jump
key being held.
