	~~Purpose: Convenience codepointer for firing a barrage of missiles in an angular sweep.~~ The object will face its target and begin firing missiles at its angle minus half the ~~Args4~~ sweep value. It will then step ~~Args4~~ / (~~Args2~~ - 1) degrees for each additional missile, spreading them out evenly, centered on the actor's angle. Thus, the angular sweep is the total separation between the first and last missiles in degrees. This codepointer can only be used to fire 2 or more missiles. Providing a value of 0 or 1 will cause it to stop without attacking. The ~~Args5~~ parameter can be used to specify a frame to use for an optional melee attack, used when the object is within melee range of its target. This parameter should be set to -1 unless a valid frame DeHackEd number or EDF mnemonic is provided.
