#summary List of all gear messages.

This is a list of gear messages. Gear messages are used to e.g. control hedgehogs.

|| `gmRight` || Walk right || _Not used._ ||
|| `gmUp` || Aim up || _Not used._ ||
|| `gmDown` || Aim down || _Not used._ ||
|| `gmSwitch` || Switch hedgehog || _Not used._ ||

|| `gmHJump` || High jump || _Not used._ ||
|| `gmDestroy` || Request gear kill itself || _Not used._ ||
|| `gmSlot` || Weapons slot selected. || Used. ||
|| `gmWeapon` || Weapon seleced. || Used. ||
|| `gmTimer` || Timer set. || Used. ||

|| `gmPrecise` || Precise || _Not used._ ||
|| `gmRemoveFromList` || Remove from gear list || _Not used._ ||
|| `gmAddToList` || Insert in gear list || _Not used._ ||

gmAddToList and gmRemoveFromList are intended for use by the engine when changing order of gears in the list.  It is not recommended that lua change these, and at present they are used together when changing a gear's Z.  For example, if lua set gmRemoveFromList, it would cause a leak of the gear, since lua would no longer be able to restore it.  Setting both together would have no effect since lua cannot at present change Z.

See https://hg.hedgewars.org/hedgewars/file/default/hedgewars/uConsts.pas (search for "gear messages") for a current list.
