Thx for your idea. I didn't take this method because I want to have a
better control on the trajectory of the disc (to break it if it comes
straightforward to the surface it reflects on, etc...).
I got it to work anyway. I have set a think function in the Touch
function. Then I re-set the right velocity to the projectile in the think
function (just the frame after the touch function has been called) and it
works.
After reflection, I figured out the problem I ran through was not a bug.
The fact that a projectile goes along the wall when it hits it is made for
the hornetgun. The hornets have exactly this behaviour : when they encounter
a wall, they move along it. It must be handled in the engine somewhere after
the call of DispatchTouch for the projectile...
So, my solution is a kind of hack, but it works ;)
