Debating what to do for the alt firing patterns for the mancubus and arachnotrons instead of their undodgeable static pitch bullet hell in fractal doom, pic is current plan but was posting here in the hopes of someone having a creative idea, since I'm tapped out atm. I'll prolly take a week or so to mull it over before completion if there ain't a super duper gud idea. All other stuff is done or decided upon.

What's possible are projectiles as described in pic; for monsters there isn't a way to have projectiles spawn after the fact with a decreased or increased pitch from the calling actor except at constant pitches unrelated to spawning projectile pitch. Even projectiles with the same pitch are limited (like recreating the player's plasma alt for a monster wouldn't be possible unless it was in a big open area) because of the way they have to be done. But I'm open to any suggestions.
