1. That's impossible. (The most you can go is black)

2. That's also impossible. (Well, implementing such a feature wouldn't be nice...)

You want to make a projectile invisible, then set its size to zero, and you can't change around the projectiles.

if i change the projectile size to 0, will the explosion of the projectiles be minimise also?

Actually, setting the projectile size to zero might just cause it to NOT hit any sections at all...

So I've never actually fiddled with the shipmaker to that extent...invisible projectiles...>.<

Oh, and just a tip: try to type in proper English...

No. Never again. Nobody attack MC for his horrid failure at English, these statements shall do.

Setting the projectile to black will render it invisible for all intents and purposes. It won't be truly invisible, but it'll look invisible.

I'm not trying to make fun of you. It's just that this statement kind of tickles me when I think about it. How does something look invisible? I guess you can't see it. :P :P

It looks invisible because the most places in space are black and if you use black projetiles they are very hard to se or not visible at all (except when being shot over a sun or planet.)

I know...I just wish that he uses proper English in the future. It was merely a tip.
