Hi

I try to make a rocket with special effect (or it should remove an entity wich isn't on the map at impact), but I can't find out how to call a function when the rocket hits it's target. I tried use onentitydied, but it doesn't called becaouse projectiles don't have health (I guess)

You'd want to use the "createentity" trigger with the "trigger_createdentity" property set to true then watch for the event in "ontriggercreatedentity".

You can see an example of it in use in my Explosive Termites mod.

Good trick, thanks
