Here is a little NPC that I made to save in your
graall/levels/npcs folder as a text file, defnpcShootWeaopn.txt
TONS of shooting/spell stuff can be done with this.
Anything that starts at the players position and moves out in a line away form the player.

NPC Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (playertouchsme){toweapons Weapon_name;}



if (weaponfired && Ammo_type>0)

{

this.distance=Repeat; //how far to throw

this.dir=playerdir;

this.x=playerx+vecx(this.dir)*2;

this.y=playery+.5+vecy(this.dir)*2;

for(this.i=0; this.i<this.distance; this.i++)

  {

  freezeplayer .3; playersprite=33;

  this.x+=vecx(this.dir);

  this.y+=vecy(this.dir);

  action direction;

  sleep .05;

  }

  Ammo_type=Ammo_type-How_much_ammo;

}

Once it saved, go to Predefined NPCs in Graal.
Select the Shootweapon.
action: can be anythign from shootarow, putbomb, lay rupee ....
direction: playerdir if shooting an arrow type, leave blank if not an arrow.
How_much_ammo: what it costs the player to use this item
Repeat: how many times to shoot the arrow/how many bombs to lay/explosions to put, etc. If not an arrow, each succesive repetition will be a bit further out form the player.
Weapon_name: what the weapon is called when player presses Q and selects it.

Have fun! let me know of any errors/comments etc.
