trying to make a sonic weapon (dolphins weapon) that shoots in a 180 degree arc. Found out that ROT for projectiles is required to make a projectile wave weapon work. Problem is that the sonic projectile isn't a normal projectile. It is enabled by having the line "IsSonic=yes" in a *weapons* tag and doesn't have an image in projectile tags (like rockets and cannons), which apparently means that it won't fire in an arc like how my missile wave weapon does. Instead of of firing the sonar weapon in a arc, it shoots straight ahead, though the warheads still land in a arc pattern, shown by the faint light that shows up when it hits. But, the explosion TWLT070 doesn't happen when i put IsSonic to yes. Another problem is that the property of sonic weapons that makes it so the 1st sonar must hit before a second one can be shot also slows down the ROF pretty badly. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
