ok can this be done; to script a projectile to shoot into the sky by pressing a ctrl then script and effe (while the effe is there make the game have low gravity-a script of course) to appear then make a projectile shoot out of where the effe is and the effe disapearing ALSO i forgot to mention making the projectile killing everything / one when it hits the ground

P.S if this did not make sense its not my fault

That didn't make sense, and it is you're fault.

to bad scripting is a pain though, until someone comes out with a script compiler you might not want to even try, becuase its just a pain.

This is perfectly possible and seems cool.

Also Scripts aren't hard if you know what you are doing and read the tut. Well You also have to be somewhat familliar with hex. Since I am atleast I don't find it hard...

Good Luck.

Yes, it is possible. And it's actually not a bad idea...

The easiest way to trigger a script is using a switch. I'm not sure of the content of the script... but the trigger and basic idea is good. Using a switch to trigger the firing of a projectile is quite simple.
