StandardEnums

Standard Enumerated Types

AGS has several enumerated types in it's standard header. These are used in calls to various commands, and will usually pop up automatically in autocomplete. However, for times where autocomplete doesn't do the job, having a manual reference is invaluable:

enum BlockingStyle {
  eBlock,
  eNoBlock
};

Used by: Character.Animate, Character.FaceCharacter, Character.FaceLocation, Character.FaceObject, Character.Move, Character.Walk, Character.WalkStraight, Object.Animate, Object.Move

enum CharacterDirection {
  eDirectionDown = 0,
  eDirectionLeft,
  eDirectionRight,
  eDirectionUp,
  eDirectionDownRight,
  eDirectionUpRight,
  eDirectionDownLeft,
  eDirectionUpLeft,
  eDirectionNone = SCR_NO_VALUE
};

Used by: Character.ChangeRoom, Character.FaceDirection

enum Direction {
  eForwards,
  eBackwards
};

Used by: Character.Animate, Object.Animate

enum WalkWhere {
  eAnywhere,
  eWalkableAreas
};

Used by: Character.Move, Character.Walk, Object.Move

enum StopMovementStyle
{
  eKeepMoving = 0,
  eStopMoving = 1
};

Used by: Character.LockView, Character.LockViewFrame

enum RepeatStyle {
  eOnce,
  eRepeat
};

Used by: Button.Animate, Character.Animate, Object.Animate

enum Alignment {
  eAlignNone          = 0,
  eAlignTopLeft       = 1,
  eAlignTopCenter     = 2,
  eAlignTopRight      = 4,
  eAlignMiddleLeft    = 8,
  eAlignMiddleCenter  = 16,
  eAlignMiddleRight   = 32,
  eAlignBottomLeft    = 64,
  eAlignBottomCenter  = 128,
  eAlignBottomRight   = 256,

  eAlignHasLeft       = 73,
  eAlignHasRight      = 292,
  eAlignHasTop        = 7,
  eAlignHasBottom     = 448,
  eAlignHasHorCenter  = 146,
  eAlignHasVerCenter  = 56
};

The Alignment enumeration consists of values that could be summed up in one integer variable to form a more complex combination of alignments. Although that ability is not used anywhere in practice yet, but may be in future. Additionally, it provides a set of masks that could be applied bitwise to check if alignment variable contains one of the distinct directions, for example:

if (align & eAlignHasLeft)
  // some code here

will execute some code if align variable contains "Left" in any combination (eAlignTopLeft, eAlignMiddleLeft or eAlignBottomLeft).

Compatibility: new version of Alignment enum was introduced in AGS 3.5.0. Previous Alignment was renamed into HorizontalAlignment.

Used by: Button.TextAlignment

enum HorizontalAlignment {
  eAlignLeft          = 1,
  eAlignCenter        = 2,
  eAlignRight         = 4
};

Note that HorizontalAlignment's values match first values of Alignment enumeration (eAlignTopLeft, eAlignTopCenter, eAlignTopRight).

Compatibility: replaced old Alignment enumeration in AGS 3.5.0.
