Prop Shooter

This sample code modifies a Weapon to make it shoot Props instead of normal bullets

Add the following code to Server/Index.lua file inside the package.

Server/Index.lua

--Create weapon
local new_weapon = Weapon(Vector(600, 0, 250), Rotator(0, 0, 0), "helix::SK_AK47")

--Setup Prop Shooting
new_weapon:Subscribe("Fire", function(weapon, shooter)
    local control_rotation = shooter:GetControlRotation()
    local forward_vector = control_rotation:GetForwardVector()
    local spawn_location = shooter:GetLocation() + Vector(0, 0, 40) + forward_vector * Vector(200)

    local prop = Prop(spawn_location, control_rotation, "helix::SM_Sphere", 1)
    prop:AddImpulse(forward_vector * Vector(10000), true)
end)

To add a character, add this code from the initial setup page.
