Does disabling autoaim not work on the vertical plane?

I did some quick testing and even if I aim at the ground with mlook I will still hit enemies on higher ledges with hitscan weapons.

What is "autoaim = OFF" actually meant to do?

I think that hitscan attacks are still always autoaimed, while projectiles act as expected.

I assume this is because in basic Doom, hitscans are "hardcoded" to autoaim. Notice how even monsters accidentally hit the monster closer to them, even if you're farther but on a hill; they have parasitic autoaim. Imps for example have no difficulty aiming in your direction. Quasar probably didn't implement a clause to remove hitscan autoaim from the player.

This actually happens because the "autoaim" feature created in SMMU was inherited from MBF's pre-beta emulation, and in the pre-beta version of DOOM, hitscans autoaimed but projectiles did not and therefore there has been no accounting for it.

I kept meaning to fix this and it keeps slipping under my radar and off the TODO list by mistake. I'll check into it later since you brought it up.

It works for me just fine (hitscan and projectiles).

Setup:
GZDoom
Autoaim - Never
Smart Autoaim - Off

Besides that, this was addressed several SVN revisions ago.
