hello! it depends. do you want the character to throw in an arc, or just fire a projectile like a rocket or a bullet?

If you want to throw in an arc, then currently I have no solution.

But if you want to just fire a projectile, then I have a solution. From the sprites category, take out an shoot projectile from (sprite) block and attach it to an on button A pressed block from the controller category.

Thank you for the quick reply! But here is a picture of the A command block if you’d like to see it? (It’s only shooting to the right and I’d like it to shoot where the character is face)
