As far i remember tank only creates explosion, and not projectile.

Isnt it a tank grenade which is sort of projectile, could be totally wrong here.
Even then there should be a hint saying about that.

I don't see tank grenade in createProjectile wiki page. But it is here, see: explosion types

I believe tank grenades are indeed not an actual projectile. The game just creates an explosion at the location you're aiming at but does not create a projectile in the process.

Alright but why is it not triggering for createProjectile?

I guess because the event is coming from a hook when projectiles get created, and the game never creates an actual projectile for explosions.

so the wiki entry is wrong:

This event is triggered every time a projectile is created by a player - either through a weapon, a vehicle weapon or createProjectile.

Sorry, I was thinking about the client-side. This is server-side:

mtasa-blue/Server/mods/deathmatch/logic/CGame.cpp

Line 2809 in 06d1f1d

if (pPlayer && pPlayer->IsJoined())

and some lines below:

mtasa-blue/Server/mods/deathmatch/logic/CGame.cpp

Line 2839 in 06d1f1d

if (!pPlayer->CallEvent("onPlayerProjectileCreation", arguments))

Edit: Each "clientside local" projectile that triggers onClientProjectileCreation sends a projectile sync packet to the server.

Alright but why is it not triggering for createProjectile?

The reason is that the game doesn't spawn a projectile if it gets instantly blocked, it's documented on the wiki page srsly linked
