Summary0001908: Backport +MTHRUSPECIES on puffs.
DescriptionI know it's not really the best time for a backport suggestion but I felt this was important enough.
I suppose not for 1.3 but perhaps for 2.0?

Since the new feature sv_unblockplayers, sns have been using a wad which added +MTHRUSPECIES on the various projectiles we could fire but the lack of a hitscan support made some difficulties. The only known work-around is to use extra-fast tiny and invisible projectiles. This may mimic closely a true hitscan attack but yet it breaks completely any vertical spread.

The mutator complex-doom that is still played a lot uses +mthruspecies on all of its weapon's projectiles but yet you still get pushed a lot from all the hitscan weapons.

This of course can be used on monsters too.

And I'm sure this feature could be useful for a ton of other things.
Steps To Reproduce
Additional InformationHere is the commit on github:
'https://github.com/rheit/zdoom/commit/8c4c011ca217210a2806ef9f9847215644845a75 [^]'
And the corresponding thread on zdoom:
'http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=45798 [^]'

If nobody feels like doing it I can agree on making the changes myself and do the pull request if of course Torr assures me that it would be accepted beforehand.

This does not cover anything of substantial importance. Please read the rules next time when asking for any type of back ports.

EDIT: Decision amended.

(shootthing->player->ReadyWeapon->flags2 & MF2_THRUGHOST)
I didn't check that myself, but either +THRUGHOST on weapons (the ZDoom wiki suggests to apply the flag to puffs, but it contradicts our current code I showed above), or w/ +SPECTRAL on players you can try to solve this.

+GHOST also makes monsters treat players as being partially invisible. This is wrong in coop where +GHOST is only used to make bullets pass through players.

I know this was backported to 3.0 but A_BFGSpray still does not benefit from this. Can it be made to benefit as well? See:'http://zdoom.org/wiki/A_BFGSpray [^]'

Im using a custom weapon with A_BFGSpray, and the backport of MTHRUSPECIES on it might prevent trolls from pushing people away on coop, so i strongly support this.

This requires backporting this changeset:'https://bitbucket.org/Torr_Samaho/zandronum-zdoom-sync/commits/1aab0fccc937 [^]'

the problem is that it was buggy, so it was fixed in this changeset:
'https://bitbucket.org/Torr_Samaho/zandronum-zdoom-sync/commits/ef66b39d7ebe [^]'

but that requires backporting also this changeset:'https://bitbucket.org/Torr_Samaho/zandronum-zdoom-sync/commits/b20d9b509bee [^]' , because otherwise the code change wouldn't match..

This is mostly working in Zandronum 3.1, except for Railgun sourced puffs. They ignore THRUSPECIES, MTHRUSPECES etc. and would be great if it could be done for those too.

MF7_ALLOWTHRUFLAGS will probably make it in for 4.0.
