Solved Custom projectiles

[JackyBoy]

Hi there, I was wondering if there was a way to summon a snowball or something with a custom name. Then make an armor stand follow it and if the ball hits a player they take damage. I am trying to make a custom 3D model item (like a bullet) fly through the air when someone uses it. I also need to make sure that it can be run multiple times and even during mid-flight. Thank you

snowball with custom name? I don't think that's possible

well what I would do in your place:

make player shoot a snowball at speed 1
loop all entities in radius 2 of block at player's head:
  loop-entity is a snowball
  set {_entity} to loop-entity
  set metadata "customprojectile" of loop-entity to true
  exit loop
spawn an armor stand at block 100 meters above player
make spawned armor stand ride {_entity}

on damage of player:
  projectile is a snowball
  metadata "customprojectile" of projectile is set
  set damage to 1
on projectile hit:
  projectile is a snowball
  metadata "customprojectile" of projectile is set
  kill passengers of projectile

untested

Thanks, the loop doesn't seem to be working though. Do you know how to fix that?

try to make it broadcast "%loop-entity%" and see if it detects anything

Just do

on right click holding lead:
    shoot a snowball from player with speed 5


on damage:
    if projectile is a snowball:
    #stuff
