Programming, like most things in life, involves learning the tools of the trades (per say) and knowing how to apply them. If you do not know, you learn.

Projectiles are movable atoms (/atom/movable, though most people use /obj, which is a branch in that path, for projectiles). When created, where New() is called, most people make it start walk()ing. When the projectile hits something, it calls Bump() on itself (not on the object it hit) - which almost always have a 'del src' at the end, as it is no longer needed.

For Bump(argument), the argument is what was src (the projectile) bumped into. Note that you need to check the argument for what you want. If you put (mob/M) in the parenthesis, it will NOT filter the object (meaning it will not check if it is a /mob) so you need to use procedures such as ismob() and istype() before doing the intended action(s).

So now you know that, use your head. I gave you a couple of hints:
- The type of path you should place your projectile under
- What procedures to use and
- What you must need, at the very least, in the said proecures.

Where do you define the str var for each mob?

When you do so, that can be added/multiplied to the base damage (10 as you used here) to increase it.
