Projectiles and On Hit Scripts

Harogat / Mani

Hi, I hope you have arrived safely.

What exactly is the projectile immediately after firing?
Is it a self, an entity or how do I access it in the “On Hit Script”?
How do I differentiate between the projectile and the target hit (e.g. opponent, target or wall)?
What are the typical use cases for the “On Hit Script” for projectiles?
Does anyone have an example script that plays an effect when a projectile is hit, removes the projectile and causes damage?

Harogat / Mani Hi Harogat! The projectile is an entity and can be accessed using the $projectile local variable in the On Hit script, while the target that was hit is stored in $target. The entity that fired the projectile will be initiator.
