Quote:1) yes a key will need to be binded, personally I would "throw" an "item" rather than use a projectile.

function ShapeBase::throwItem(%this,%data,%client){
   // Construct item to throw from the given datablock
   // (with a random rotation around the z axis)
   %projectile = new projectile() {
      dataBlock    = %data;
      rotation     = "0 0 1 " @ (getRandom() * 360);
      sourceObject   = %client.player;
      client       = %client;
   };
   MissionCleanup.add(%projectile);

   // Call the workhorse throw method...
   %this.throwObject(%projectile);
}
