Peculiar lateral thrust calculation

[Skeletonxf]

Hi

First of all, thanks for making this mod open source. I found a peculiar line while porting the code from new movement physics into my mod.

else if(!vectorMovement) {
    targRot = quaterniond_fromVecToVec(vec3d_front(), dest - obj.position, vec3d_up());
    // Added code to apply a little bit of thrust even when not rotated.
    {
        double dot = targRot.dot(obj.rotation);
        if(dot < 0.999) {
            if(dot < -1.0)
                dot = -1.0;
	}
        else {
            if(dot > 1.0)
                dot = 1.0;
        }

        // dot is now in the range -1 to +1, where 0 is a rightangle between target rotation and current rotation.
        // Therefore, if we take 35% of the acceleration and multiply that by the absolute value of dot
        // we'll achieve the goal of slight off-axis acceleration, scaling up to 35% when it's almost parallel, and then the
        // normal code will take over when rotating is false or vector movement is true, as this entire block is only executed as
        // an else to the standard rotation/accel block.
        double absdot = dot < 0 ? 0-dot : dot; 
        double ratio = absdot * offAxisThrustMultiplier; // 35% thrust scaled down to zero sideways.
        double timeLeft = time;
	do {
            double take = 0;
            obj.acceleration = accToGoal(a, take, dest - obj.position, destVel - obj.velocity) * ratio;
            take = min(timeLeft, max(take, 0.01));
            obj.position += obj.acceleration * (take * take * 0.5);
            obj.velocity += obj.acceleration * take;
            timeLeft -= take;
        } while(timeLeft > 0.0001);
    }
}

this snippet in the Mover component, specifically

obj.acceleration = accToGoal(a, take, dest - obj.position, destVel - obj.velocity) * ratio;

my understanding is accToGoal uses the a argument given to it to determine which way to accelerate, so shouldn't this line be applying the lateral thrust ratio to the a given to it, rather than applying it to the new acceleration accToGoal is computing based on 100% acceleration?

obj.acceleration = accToGoal(a * ratio, take, dest - obj.position, destVel - obj.velocity);
