| − | #This table assumes that all calls to [[Pseudorandom number generator|P_Random]] for damage, [[pain chance]], impact animations, and backfire checks are consecutive. In real play, this is never the case: counterattacks and AI pathfinding must be handled, and of course the map may contain additional moving monsters and other randomized phenomena (such as [[Sector#Doom|flickering lights]]). It is also assumed that all projectiles are launched at nearly the same range, so that the various procedures call P_Random in the same ''sequence'' each time. Any resulting errors are probably toward the single-shot average, as they introduce noise into the correlation between the indices of "consecutive" calls. | + | #This table assumes that all calls to [[Pseudorandom number generator|P_Random]] for damage, [[pain chance]], impact animations, and backfire checks are consecutive.
