Disable Verticle autoaim for mod?

[Graaicko]

So in Zdoom. I've always disliked the Autoaim with the mouse and keyboard controls. It's just goofy imo. And I've disabled the normal autoaim feature in my Shadow Elite mod to make aiming somewhat realistic within the GZDoom engine. I guess there are two kinds of auto aim. Horizontal and vertical. When you aim completely down and fire it still hits an enemy that is higher up. I want to disable this feature.

What I normally do is to ignore all the player attack functions and just spawn the projectile and give it velocity based only on the player's pitch and angle (and velocity if one wants to get all frame-of-reference-y).

I haven't thought about autoaim in years.

well its a hitscan weapon. but i might make all my weapons fire a tracer type projectile in the future.

I think LineAttack works for that as well.

I would advise against it; users like myself occasionally like to play with gamepads or non-mouse devices (especially keep in mind people who use Delta Touch or devices like the GPD Win 2) may have autoaim enabled, even slightly, for its original purpose: to assist in aiming.

The only legit use I can think of for disabling autoaim entirely is on weapons like grenade launchers, where autoaim can have unintentionally lethal side-effects.
