Besides testing any possible issues we might have overlooked, this pull request is meant to be used as an announcement for this upcoming change.

  • If you happen to have an extension that relies on ACF hooks, you will be affected by these changes.
  • If you happen to have an extension that adds ACF hooks, you should consider using the same naming convention as us.

TLDR: Most, if not all, hooks were renamed to follow a strict naming convention: ACF_[Pre/On/Post][ACTION][ACTOR].

To go a little bit more in-depth, we want to make sure hooks remain consistent in both the way they're written and the way they're employed. All our hooks will use PascalCase for the capitalization and begin with the ACF_ prefix.

After that, you have to choose between Pre, On and Post for the moment in which this hook is being called. Pre implies the action hasn't happened yet, as such you should be able to stop it from happening with this hook. On means the action is about to happen, you shouldn't be able to stop it by now. Post means the action has already happened.

Following that, you need to add your ACTION, this needs to be a verb in present tense.

You end up with the ACTOR of the hook, this will be the thing affected by the action.

Is ACF_CanCreateEntity/ACF_CanUpdateEntity having the word Can at the front but everything else having it in the middle of the phrase intentional or just an oversight?

It's an oversight, probably from the time I was trying to copycat Gmod hook names.

After a bit of further review, ACF_CanUpdateEntity may potentially have a naming conflict with ACF_PreEntityUpdate, as both would seemingly be named ACF_PreUpdateEntity under the new convention. These two hooks may need to be more meaningfully differentiated from each other somehow.
