    Not A Bug Reflected Magic LWeapon Hitbox Rotated 90 Degrees

    This is something I noted while I had cheats active with the option to show current hitboxes.

    Any lweapon of type reflected magic (the ones in question were generated via script) has a rectangular hitbox that seems to be rotated 90 degrees relative to other lweapons.

    Example:

    Normal Hitbox-

    +-------+
    |-------- |
    +-------+

    Reflected Magic Hitbox-

    +----+
    |-----|
    |-----|
    |-----|
    +----+

    The shape of the hitbox is not being adjusted by this script in any way.
    I should also note that the shape of the hitbox seems to vary with other lweapons, though square and horizontal rectangle shown are the most common.

    He is using 2.50.2. When I have my system running again, I'll look into this.

    Sorry I didn't mention that. It is in 2.50.2

    Screenshots (the hitbox may be a bit hard to make out, but it is shown).



    These are all reflected magic type (though their sprites are different).



    This is a reflected beam type lweapon (made to look like an arrow).

    I would have posted screenshots earlier, but I didn't think that the cheat's alterations (which show the hitbox) would be visible.

    Is this a bug or a request?

    I don't think the reflected lweapon type has been changed at all since 2.10, though it's certainly possible.

    I felt like it was a bug, because I noted the discrepancy between it's appearance and all others.

    In the next two screenshots, the left script is making a LW_REFMAGIC while the right is making an LW_REFBEAM. No other changes were made.



    See the difference?

    Compare both to their non-reflected counterparts, EW_MAGIC and EW_BEAM.

    Those hitboxes look correct, based on the default sprites for each.

    Here are screenshots of lweapon LW_BEAM and LW_MAGIC.



    The LW_BEAM is hard to make out, but it seems correct to me.



    This LW_MAGIC is much easier to see and definitely of a different shape.

    Compare to EW_MAGIC (Type ID 134) and EW_BEAM (Type ID 132). The reflected weapons (LW) are generated by reflecting EWeapons, so they should have the same hitbox as the EWeapons, as they should inherit the EW properties.
