Feature #1219
Configurable missile spawn points
0%
Description
When using models, and a monster shoots a missile it is
spawned from the center of the object. This looks fairly
strange, a good example is the cyberdemon.
It would be usefull if we could specifiy a spawn point (x
y z) in the ded that would enable missiles to be
spawned at the correct position (ie from the gun/hand
position).
This would also require the coords to be rotated based
on the object angle.

This shouldn't be too difficult to implement.
The Thing definition already has four Misc values, which
are currently unused by jDoom. It would be easiest to
have cylinder coordinates: Z offset, angle, distance from
mobj origin.
Only problem: Changing the spawn point is a change in
gameplay. Large offsets will break some maps (spawn
inside wall). Does it look good for both sprites and
models? The game can't alter gameplay depending on
whether models are enabled or not...

Good point. It would have to be an option in that case.
The models should be roughly the same size as the sprites
though, so as long as they arn't bigger than the 'actual size'
defined by the game they shouldn't appear in walls?
