 In order for a ranged weapon to generate a visual projectile when used (e.g. an arrow, bullet, spinning dagger, etc.), you will need to make use of the "Object Model" [[item]] property found below the equippable/weapon settings. If the weapon's projectile speed to set to zero (i.e. instant), you won't need an [[object]] model as the weapon will hit its target immediately. In order for a ranged weapon to generate a visual projectile when used (e.g. an arrow, bullet, spinning dagger, etc.), you will need to make use of the "Object Model" [[item]] property found below the equippable/weapon settings.

-Since projectiles are [[object|objects]], their "default" [[animation]] will be played upon entering the scene, if one exists. This can be used, for example, to make a throwing dagger spin as it moves towards its target. To achieve this, you would simply create a spinning [[animation]] for the dagger named "default" and assign it to the "Object Model" property of your weapon (or ammo [[item]] if setting up a ranged weapon that consumes ammo).+Since projectiles are [[object|objects]], their "default" [[animation]] will be played upon entering the scene, if one exists.
