A_RailAttack that supports autoaim?
Admittedly, I don't play ZDoom with autoaim enabled, which is why it surprised me when /newstuff reviewer Csonicgo complained that the Tri-laser in ww-mixed3 didn't work well for him. Upon looking at [wiki]A_RailAttack[/wiki], I find there's no flag that enables it to autoaim at all...am I missing something? Or should I consider a different approach than rail attacks?

No, it never was added, and now with scripting you can do it yourself.

I support this. I sometimes play some mods on a Windows Tablet, which only has keyboard, and I find the lack of autoaim on Railgun weapons jarring.

Re: A_RailAttack that supports autoaim?
I spent years waiting for this in an official capacity.
This was my stopgap.
When ZScript came out, I began steadily converting this over to all-ZScript, but I haven't 100% moved it out of ACS. If anyone can teach us the best way to do it, please tell us.

The important thing is to call AimLineAttack to calculate the shooting angle.
