Psykinetic's Wrath Does Not Affect Enemies Immediately After Sliding

[simpliv]

Issue Description:
Psyker Psykinetic’s special ability Psykinetic’s Wrath does not affect enemies in circumstances where it is used immediately after sliding.

Due to the fact that the special ability cannot be used while sliding, mashing the button during a slide may result in a wrong trigger that consumes the special ability but does not cause it to affect enemies.

Steps to Reproduce:
Using Psykinetic’s Wrath while sliding/immediately after sliding causes the ability to go off, but does not affect any enemies. Results are inconsistent but happen more often than I would like.

Mission Name (If Applicable):
Any

Psykinetic’s Wrath also has problems with verticality.

Even when looking right at the enemy, the ability does not affect enemies that are a certain distance above or below the player (although they should be within the range of the ability).

It appears like the ability currently does not respect the actual direction of the player’s aim, but only considers the player’s orientation along the x and y axis and is therefore always cast horizontally.

For testing purposes, it is a good idea to use the “ascendant blaze” lvl 30 feat.
This way, enemies hit by Psykinetic’s Wrath are set on fire, so it is much easier to see who actually got hit and who did not.
