I suggest you ask in the feature suggestions thread. Not a closed one. :P

If I can make a humble wish for gzdoom: angle, pitch, roll and Z offset arguments would be incredibly nice for 3d model weapons.
Also I looove this feature. Gonna get a lot of mileage out of it.

I can see many uses for this, at least for me. Bookmarked for future reference! Thanks!

Ah, okay, small bummer. I can never remember since I don't often play with them. This is why we have the power of CallACS then :)

Very cool, perhaps I can finally ditch the homebrew GunOffsetX/Y ACS commands and natively use this to do weapon sway/pitch shifting (that's seen in a lot of my videos) natively. Expect a code dump soon!

EDIT: Also, for plain offset animation authoring, I wouldn't ditch good ol' Offset(), it's still useful for those... and with highly specialized tools like Danimator outputting to Offset() format, I wouldn't really consider Offset() deprecated at all.

I can only wonder how many that count is. :P

Solid. Once this is approved and appears in a dev build, I can go mark my existing feature suggestions for closure.

If trigonometry functions work, so will (f)random and expressions of any kind. In short, yes.

Re: A_WeaponOffset

Can it handle random()? I've been waiting for some four years now for a way to make random offsets.

Indeed, but just remember, due to the nature of what A_WeaponOffset is for, there's no user var usage with it. Get comfortable with items, because that's why I also made CountInv for. :P
