ZDoom

Just use (A_)Spawn(ItemEx) to shoot the projectile.

I haven't actually used A_SpawnProjectile at all besides converting a bunch of A_CustomMissiles that I wrote in those days before A_SpawnItemEx could be used instead.

I find it ridiculous that the firing functions don't have an [color=#404000]X[/color] ([color=#400080]frontward - backward[/color] ) compatibility like [color=#BF8000]A_SpawnItemEx[/color] does.

Since doom mods are already in the wild,possibly using A_Custom and SpawnProjectile, perhaps a new [color=#8040BF]A_SpawnProjectileEx[/color] would suffice ? This should have the [color=#400040]x[/color] [color=#808000]y[/color] [color=#800000]z[/color] as first coordinates like the ItemEx function, as well as a fix for the pitch problem I discussed here:
