I don't know why I never thought of actually using the player to be a cursor himself... Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best. I was expecting something to do with player pitch and player angle, and a whole lot of trig. The only downside here is that this doesn't seem to work with software rendering. Works great though.

This is what I used to make mine.

As proposed earlier, you have to take into account renderer and adjust it appropriately. I just make a buffer variable for momentum.
