How do I check whether or not the whirlwind jump was used?

I don't see any documentation on this from the wiki.

I don't think there's any proper way to do it but, you could try this:

if player.powers[pw_shield] == SH_JUMP  // check for shield
and player.pflags & PF_THOKKED  // whirlwind shield jump gives this flag
and player.panim == PA_FALL   // check if the player is in the falling animation to not mistake it with a simple thok

Yep, just found out that whirlwind jump sets PF_THOKKED.

I'd also like to mention that PF_THOKKED is also set when the character uses their ability.
