Some questions about speed

I have a few question conserning the speed in decorate.

1) Can I make a projectile that has the player's movement speed added onto it? Like the powered up Phoenix Staff. The fire moves the same speed as the player + it's own speed, ensuring that it's always a trail of fire infront of the player.

2) Can I make a projectile that spawns actors that follows it? The best example I got is Quake 2's BFG 10k, where the particles follow the BFG ball.

3) Can I make change directions and speed while in flight?

4) What is the max speed supported by Gzdoom? Is it still 200 or it is higher?

1+2) currently not
3) Only with ThrustThing which is rather limited
4) Anything above 200 will become erratic.

Any plans of any one or more of these?

1+2) maybe later
4) not without a complete rewrite of the movement code, so don't bother waiting.

I know that documentation around using the Turbo console command states that the max speed is 255.

I think Turbo is also considered a cheat.
