`object_create_explosion` delegated to
`object_create_explosion_without_damage`, adding one parameter that
callers ought to provide instead. Inline `object_create_explosion` into
callers and change them to provide `Vclip`.
The function had one caller, which always passed `0`. Inline that.
Next, observe that `sent` is only ever modified `if (!(Game_mode &
GM_NETWORK))`. As a multiplayer function, `multi_send_robot_frame`
should never be called in single-player, so this test should always be
false. Delete it, and observe that `sent` is now `const`.
Remove unused return value of `multi_send_robot_frame`.
Instead of passing a truth value and letting
multi_send_robot_position_sub pick which of two priority values to use,
let the callers pass the priority directly. There were two callers.
One used a fixed truth value, and the other can easily use a ternary.
Commit 1a9fba804d made an incorrect simplification. It observed that
thief robots are not boss robots and vice versa, and from that changed:
```
if (is_thief) { drop_stolen_items(); }
if (is_boss) { start_boss_death_sequence(); }
else if (death_roll) { start_robot_death_sequence(); }
else { regular_death(); }
```
to
```
if (is_thief) { drop_stolen_items(); }
else if (is_boss) { start_boss_death_sequence(); }
else if (death_roll) { start_robot_death_sequence(); }
else { regular_death(); }
```
This was incorrect, because although a thief is not a boss, a thief does
need to proceed through the other non-boss if tests. This error caused
a thief not to explode on death, and instead continue to fly around and
absorb weapon fire.
Fix the logic error by removing the incorrect `else`, so that a thief
can be tested for is_boss, get false, and then proceed through the
non-boss death logic.
Fixes: 1a9fba804d ("Avoid repeated valptridx dereferences in multibot.cpp")
If at least two robots would be dropped, and a drop failed, then
object_create_robot_egg would report failure to the caller. Callers
that check the return code treat any failure as total failure, but that
is not guaranteed to be true. If the game successfully dropped one
robot and failed when dropping a second, then the caller would receive a
status of failure.
Fix this by returning a status of whether at least one object was
created.
Some flags merit a type other than int8_t. Begin moving flags out to
distinct variables with their own type.
Add static_assert checks that the ABI relevant structures do not change.
This reduces the call depth by one, and eliminates a load of a global
variable that always has the value MULTI_PROTO_UDP. It adds a load of
the address of the empty dispatch object. Overall, this should be an
improvement.
gcc and clang disagree about how to disambiguate when an identifier is
both a typename and a member. Avoid the disagreement by renaming the
member.
