A Basic Projectile

Projectiles are the easiest and most abundant weapon primitive when creating weapons for Scorched 3D. Below I have attatched the a basic Missile code for you to examine. Simply hover over a code snippet to view its description. Corresponding XML tags will have matching colors. This means you need to include both tags in the correct spot and format for your weapon to function properly. Simply copy and paste this example into your "accessories.xml" file to test it.
