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", )

like this?

Its a sword, that shoots fire orbs with a picture effect spawning around it.
the orbs hurts 10 mobs or player, but not on the user

modding help with projectiles
