If launch point and expansion trigger point must occur together, then the distinction of course disappears. Those cones will originate from the attacker. But that's also just a special case. A more general model would be occasionally useful.

I don't agree with that assessment of the OP, but at any rate, if you're making 'remote cones' they need additional stats. Range and 1/2D stats (and cone width) are used and needed to define the geometry of the cone itself. You'd need at least one
separate range stat to define how far you can displace the cone origin.
