A_CustomMissile flags

[Xtyfe]

Since this was recently added, I plan to use it straight away. But just wanted to clarify since it since its somewhat confusing

What flag should I use if I want to use the pitch argument like A_CustomBulletAttack? Just CMF_OFFSETPITCH?

You'll probably want to use the "fire in current direction" flag. Make sure you use A_FaceTarget immediately before, or there'll be a slight delay and it won't hit you if you're on the move.

... Unless this is a function you want, of course!

"Fire in current direction" flag? Now I'm even more confused

CMF_OFFSETPITCH seems to do what i'm looking for

What is the pitch-argument in A_CustomBulletAttack?
vert_spread?
CBAF_NOPITCH (flag)?
CBAF_EXPLICITANGLE (flag?

If you want to use regular aim, but with an adjusted pitch (x higher or lower), then use CMF_OFFSETPITCH. Pitch parameter is then added to the pitch that would normally be used. Addition of negative number is possible.

If you want to specify an explicit pitch (without messing with anything else) use CMF_ABSOLUTEPITCH.

If you want the missile to know what pitch it has been fired with, use CMF_SAVEPITCH (updates the pitch variable).

A_CustomBulletAttack's pitch argument is "vert_spread"

But yes CMF_OFFSETPITCH is actually what i have wanted forever, Now if only the only the last irking thing for me were fixed i'd be in heaven (Hitscan, BFG ray, and lost soul species checks)
