Note: Wait! Stop! Before you copy this actor's definition into your mod, remember the following things: You do not need to copy that actor, since it is already defined. In fact, it's not just useless, it's actually harmful as it can cause problems. If you want to modify it, or use a modified version, using inheritance is the way to go. The actor definitions here are put on the wiki for reference purpose only. Learn from them, don't copy them. There is only one exception: if what you want is changing Ammo capacity, you need to create a new type from Ammo.

Classes: FastProjectile
 →BlasterFX1
 →CFlameMissile
 →MageWandMissile

A base class for all fast projectiles, with special movement code. Standard missile code doesn't manage speeds greater than about 60 very well. To create a fast-moving projectile, inherit from this class or one of its children classes.

The MissileType property has a special use for fast projectiles. When one is specified, several (at least eight) are spawned every tic in the projectile's wake, as a trail. The greater the speed, and the smallest (yet non-null) the radius, the more numerous the steps. See MageWandMissile for an example of use, and MageWandSmoke for how a trail actor might be defined.

The MissileHeight property also has a special use for fast projectiles. Normally, fast projectiles spawn their trails slightly lower than the projectile itself. Using this property, the trail's height can be adjusted to different heights.

Due to the movement code, fast projectiles are destroyed if they are incapable of moving or hit any plane. Hence, bounce properties or other plane related flags don't work.
