how do i make npc shoot stuff?

[lolcode]

I kinda know how to make npcs but i don't know how to make them spawn projectiles. I need the projectiles to have certain speed. Please help!

I was trying to code a Huckit Crab, and that was also my roadblock (I followed carefully Enjl's tutorial). So I'm sorry, I cannot help you.

If you look at the NPC.spawn function, you can see that it causes an NPC to spawn and returns the NPC in question.
local myNPC = NPC.spawn(id, x, y, section)
myNPC.speedX = 4

You can look at basegame code for (for example) the SMW bowser statue for reference.

Added in 1 hour 39 minutes 50 seconds:
btw, is it posible for a projectile to be launched exactly at the player?

Yeah, just get the distance vector between the player and npc locations and normalize it so that it always has a length of 1:
local firingDirection = vector(player.x - npc.x, player.y - npc.y):normalize()

thank you
