    I wrote a new script to re-target Fireball.

    Everything works, except that I don't understand how the particles projectile system works.

    Does anyone have any experience with using projectiles from spells?

    Essentially, I just need to shoot a projectile at a target of my choice.

    That is all I need to do.

    Anyone have any pointers on that?

    Thanks.

    Actually, the more I think about this....

    What I really need to do is change the target before the projectile is fired, I think.

    Maybe that would be a better solution.

    Anyway, any help would be cool.

    Some investigations into the 'Salamanders firing fireballs around corners at unseen, out-of-range PCs' issue showed that projectiles are calculated from the target backwards, rather than outward from the caster to the target. Makes sense, really, from a programming perspective. :)

    Dunno if that helps but hope it does Liv.
