Someone tell me if posting this many help threads is against the rules or something. As far as I can tell, it isn't...
Soo... now I'm trying to get this weapon to work. It's an invisible weapon meant to work with the Ghast playertype located here:
https://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=289735But it doesn't fire anything. The Ghast usually animates properly- its face changes when it's supposed to fire, though sometimes it gets stuck in armAttack and doesn't go back to Root. Even spawning the Ghast Fireball projectile with events works properly- the particles are right, it flies right, and it explodes right.
But no matter how I change it, I can't seem to get it to fire. I have a feeling it's got something to do with the "Charge" state, which is meant to provide a delay before firing to replicate the Minecraft Ghast's chargeup time and give it time to make the sound before firing. But as far as I can tell, it's correct.
