FireProjectile alternative?

I just noticed, that FireProjectile get's synched even if you have the 0x240 cog flags set. This is bad. Very bad. I need it to create a mouse cursor for a 3do menu system. CreateThing is no alternative, since it doesn't take player pitch into account.
Help?

Oh, nevermind. My brilliant mind just found out how to circumvent the issue: get rid of the pulse and use the crosshair as cursor. I still use FireProjectile to create the cursor, but it's an invisible cursor, and it get's only created when the player presses a button. Then, after determination of the correct button, it gets destroyed again.

Oh, and do you have any idea how much time it took me to stumble over the "FireProjectile overrides cogflags" notice on JKHub? 2 Days. But yeah, I got rid of the issue and am able to continue with my project, so...

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
