A_CustomRailgun with spawnofs_xy and aim:2 swaps offset axis

Take this archive that has a basic port of the Gladiator enemy from Quake II. It has two monsters, Gladiator and AimGladiator. The Gladiator has aim:2 in its A_CustomRailgun call, and this causes the spawnofs_xy param to move forwards and backwards instead of left to right. The AimGladiator, however, has aim:1 for the railgun, and it moves the railgun source left/right as needed.

This bug seems to be fairly longstanding, since the actor isn't very complex at all, I was able to load it in one of the last dev builds of zdoom that supported zscript (far back enough that the -zscript param was needed), and the railgun seems to have the same issue there.

Meaning that actually changing behavior is not an option. Who knows how many mods depend on it.

any chance of a corrective flag, then? (or heck just a scripted version of the function...) I would like to be able to use the proper behavior for aim mode 2.

Not for 4.1. That's too close.
