The default value of -1 means that no aiming inaccuracy is experienced except what may be incurred from what flags this monster has. A value larger than 24 will, on the other hand, override the creature's flags and cause enemies to experience no inaccuracy due to to those flags (so for example a creature inheriting from Spectre and setting its aimshift to 25 will behave as though it does not have the SHADOW flag other than for rendering purposes).

			*'''missiletype'''
			:Default = '''Default'''
			:Type of movement if this thingtype is a projectile. It can be '''Default''' or '''RavenFast'''. The '''Default''' type is usual, allowing speeds up to about 35 (but in practice the limit is around 25, after which it becomes inaccurate). The '''RavenFast''' type is for very fast projectiles, as happening to some types in the Heretic and Hexen games, which can be very fast and still being accurate. Do mind that '''RavenFast''' works only and strictly with projectiles, and can't be used with other types of actors, as they're severely limited on their interactions with the environment.
