Parameters are:<br /> * &#039;&#039;[[tid]]&#039;&#039;: tag of things to spawn projectiles from. One projectile is spawned for each tagged thing. As usual, it can be activator or any of the four coop players; see [[tid]] for info.<br /> * &#039;&#039;type&#039;&#039;: name of thingtype to spawn as projectile. NOTE: this also supports the ZDoom names of things. See &quot;compatname&quot; from [[thingtype]] if you want to use those names. It&#039;s not limited to projectiles, any thing class would work.<br /> * &#039;&#039;angle&#039;&#039;: [[byte angle]] of projectile direction.<br /> * &#039;&#039;speed&#039;&#039;: expressed in &#039;&#039;fixed point&#039;&#039; (use the decimal point to get correct values). This is in eights of units actually; to achieve a speed of 10 for example (like the imp fireball), use 80.0.<br /> * &#039;&#039;vspeed&#039;&#039;: vertical speed. Same measurement unit as &#039;&#039;speed&#039;&#039;<br /> * &#039;&#039;gravity&#039;&#039;: if nonzero, projectile will be subject to low gravity (it will get the &#039;&#039;&#039;LOGRAV&#039;&#039;&#039; [[thing type flags|thing flag]]). Applies even if original definition can&#039;t fall.<br /> * &#039;&#039;newtid&#039;&#039;: optional TID to give the new thing, so it can be tracked by subsequent ACS functions.<br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> The spawned thing will play its sight sound. It does &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; need to be a projectile; you can use this function to spawn monsters too, and if &#039;&#039;gravity&#039;&#039; is 0, such monsters will fly. Be careful however, unlike dedicated thing spawners, this function doesn&#039;t check if the thing can fit, so it can spawn stuck monsters. This function was mainly designed to spawn projectiles.<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> ===Linedef specials===<br /> *[[Thing_Projectile]]<br /> *[[Thing_ProjectileGravity]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:ACS]]</div>
