Regression build:
None

Summary:
Projecile offset is applied relative to world position rather than local entity position.

Impact:
Having projectile offset take entity rotation into consideration would make the X or Z directions much more useful. As it stands, there aren't very many contexts in which the offset can be used.

Reproduction:
I have provided an mcworld which can be used to easily reproduce the issue.

1. Import the mcworld into your game and open it.
2. Postion yourself at different positions around the test_blaze entity.
3. Observe the projectiles being created at the same world position without regard to the blaze's rotation or your postion

Observed Results:
Projectiles are being created at the same world position without regard to the blaze's rotation or your postion.

Expected Results:
The offset creation point for the projectiles should rotate relative to the entity firing the projectiles.
