0004552: Backport the remaining parameters for A_RailAttack and A_CustomRailgun
Samuzero15tlh doesn't have access to the tracker, so he asked if someone could forward his feature request. The request is to backport the remaining parameters for the A_RailAttack and A_CustomRailgun action functions.
These are:
* double spiraloffset: The angle from which the outer ring starts spiraling.
* int limit: Sets the maximum number of actors to pierce through, if they are applicable for damaging.

In addition to these 2 parameters, A_CustomRailgun has one exclusive to it:
* double veleffect: Customizes the inaccuracy induced by a moving target.

His use case was to make a hitscan that pierces a certain amount of actors, but the current options are overengineered / hacky ways to do it, and the cleanest way to handle limited piercing right now is to have a stacked hitscan on the same spot. However, that either deals heavy damage to the first target, or deals little damage to the last n-th actor because the other targets took most of the traces before dying.
No tags attached.
