modding help with projectiles

[SuperPantsofDoom]

I'm working on a mod that adds a fire sword that shoots orbs of fire at mobs but i don't know of a function that does projectiles

Define on_use of your sword and spawn a particle like this:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

local look_dir = user:get_look_dir()
local player_pos = user:getpos()
if not look_dir or not player_pos then
   return
end
-- Add arm offset
player_pos.y = player_pos.y + 1.6
minetest.add_particle({
   pos = table.copy(player_pos),
   velocity = vector.multiply(look_dir, 30), -- velocity of 30
   texture = "texture.png",
)
