Yay, it worked!

To answer you, I've never stopped learning UT stuff. I've been making mods 
and monsters for both UT and 2K4 pretty much non-stop. Got a couple of 
websites and a bunch of released things. It's my nirvana. I figured I sucked 
as a player so I should try to do other UT things    :P

Now your question. It's secondary fire, and I'll show you where:

This part sets up the alt fire itself:

Here it wants to know if the alt fire hits another player/bot (thats a 
playerpawn). If it does it add yaw to them (pushes them back basically):

If it doesn't then it hits any other actors (like an incoming rocket :P) 
effectively canceling them out:

If there's nothing to hit then it just does the animation:

I hope this helps you out. The "window" for this is incredibly small. The 
timing is gonna be tough to get correct.
