Title: spawn angle
Post by: phreak on June 05, 2004, 02:29:48 pm

i just tested and commited code to modify spawn weapons so that the children are only spawned within a certain angle of the forward direction of the parent.  this would be useful since you can modify the infyrno missile to only spawn its sub-munitions forward so you don't kill yourself as easily when using them.  plus it makes them more deadly

here's an EXE which includes the latest CVS source including this feature

its rather hard to see from this test shot, but its there :)
