Keyvalues:

Keyvalue Value Type	Description
________________________________
Projectile Type integer	Choose a prefab or set to custom/other to build your own type.
Projectile Entity string	If Projectile Type is set to Other or Tripmine, then this is the class name of the entity you want to spawn.
Projectile Speed float	Initial velocity of the projectile.
Projectile Direction Vector	Direction of the projectile, relative to the aim direction. Coordinates are given as Right, Up, and Forward units. Usually you want to set this to straight forward (0 0 1).
Projectile Elasticity float	Percentage of speed reflected after hitting a surface.
Projectile Gravity float	Percentage of gravity applied to the projectile.
Projectile Air Friction float	Percentage of speed to reduce while the projectile is in the air. Only for Custom projectiles, currently.
Projectile Water Friction float	Percentage of speed to reduce while the projectile is in water. Only for Custom projectiles, currently.
Projectile Angles Vector	Initial Pitch/Yaw/Roll for the projectile.
Projectile Angular Velocity Vector	Initial Pitch/Yaw/Roll rotation speed for the projectile.
Projectile Offset Vector	Projectile spawn offset, relative to the player's gun position. Coordinates are given as Right, Up, and Forward units.
Projectile Plyr. Vel. Influence Vector	Percentage of player velocity to add to the initial velocity of the projectile. Coordinates are given as Right, Up, and Forward percentages, and are relative to the player's aim direction. The Up axis always points above the player, no matter where they're aiming.
Projectile Life Time float	Time in seconds before the projectile is removed from the world.
Projectile Model string	Custom model for the projectile. Only for Custom and Other projectiles, currently.
Projectile Movement Sound weapon_custom_sound	Looping sound attached to the projectile while it is alive.
Projectile Sprite string	Sprite that attaches to the projectile.
Projectile Sprite Color Color	Color of the attached sprite.
Projectile Sprite Scale float	Size of the attached sprite.
Projectile Follow Behavior integer	Choose if you want the projectile to follow your crosshairs (like the RPG) or nearby enemies (like the hornet gun).
Projectile Follow Radius float	If Projectile Follow Behavior is set to Follow Nearby Enemies, then enemies must be within this radius for them to be targeted.
Projectile Follow Turn Angle float	If the projectile is set to follow something, then the projectile turning radius will be limited to this value.
Projectile Follow Delay + Dur. + Freq. 3 floats	If Projectile Follow Behavior is set to Follow Crosshairs, then these 3 values are applied as follows: Delay = The time before the projectile begins following after the shot is fired. Duration = The time until the projectile will stop following. Frequency = The delay between follow updates, which impacts turning speed and server performance.
Projectile Trail Sprite string	If set, a beam trail is added to the projectile using this sprite.
Projectile Trail Life integer	Life time of the trail (Seconds*0.1).
Projectile Trail Width integer	Size of the trail.
Projectile Trail Color Color	Color and opacity of the trail.
Projectile Trail Effect weapon_custom_effect	Effect to repeatedly spawn on the projectile while it is alive.
Projectile Trail Effect Frequency float	Delay between spawns of the trail effect.
Projectile Hull Size float	Size of the projectile's collision hull.
Projectile Life Expired Effect weapon_custom_effect	Effect to spawn when the projectile's life time has expired.
Projectile Custom Hit World Action integer	Action to take when the projectile impacts a solid surface.
Projectile Custom Hit World Effect weapon_custom_effect	Effect to spawn when the projectile impacts a solid surface.
Projectile Custom Hit Monster Action integer	Action to take when the projectile impacts a monster.
Projectile Custom Hit Monster Effect weapon_custom_effect	Effect to spawn when the projectile impacts a monster.
Projectile Bounce Effect Min. Freq float	Minimum time to wait before spawning another effect triggered by bouncing off a surface or monster.
