Since Zdoom forums is being moved, I'll have to ask this non-GZdoom only question here.

I'm having some small problems macking a projectile split into other projectiles that fly in the general direction as the parent-projectile. It works fine if i'm not aiming up or down, however when I aim the weapon up or down, when the missiles split it just fires ignoring the parent's pitch. here's a screenshot of what I mean:



I shot from the upper right corner of the screenshot aiming slightly downwards. As you can see, as the small missiles are fired from the bigger ones, they ignore the pitch of the original missiles and just fly horizontally.

Here's the decorate:

Is there any way to fix this problem? Cuz my weapon can't really aim up or down at the moment.

You have to specify a vertical momentum with A_SpawnItemEx. This is not inherited from the parent projectile.

When you mean Verticle momentum, I assume that's the Ymomentum? or is it the Z? Either way, i already have those on "random(#,#)" and it didn't work.

In doom, the vertical direction = the Z-axis.
