[Resolved]How do I use my own projectile?
Posted: Mon Apr 18, 2016 7:49 pm
Hello there!
This is my first go at modding, and I'm basically trying to make a better (if a little overpowered
) version of the basic grenade, called ' advanced grenade' .
Reason I'm trying to make it, is to easily clear trees
I'm aware there is a Thermite mod for that (or ofcourse the vanilla way, construction robots), but it seemed like a good opportunity to teach myself to to make my own mod.
My problem is that I can't figure out how to use my own projectile.
I can make my custom item throw the basic grenade projectile, just not my own.
Whenever I add "advanced-grenade-projectile" at,
I get the following error:
If someone could help me figure out what I'm doing wrong it'd be greatly appreciated!
Full Code below.
