Can you HOIK a Projectile ?

[RoboticTea]

I know projectile can go through a wall like this in only one angle but can you change a projectile direction with hoiks i tried to but the projectile stops any idea's ?

 

[HDanke]

As projectiles are destroyed/retract upon hiting a block (interacting with it's hitbox), hoiking it might not be possible /

 

[pimhazeveld]

It might be possible. you CAN hoik boulders but just not backwards.

 

[JereTheJuggler]

I doubt it's possible with any projectiles that break when they come in contact with ground, but hoiking a fishing rod's bobber I know is possible and I wouldn't be surprised if it's possible with a flail's projectile.

 

[RoboticTea]

So i tried with Actuated Blocks didn't work either i'm gonna try the fishing rod , the flail and the boulder to see if you can loop them

Any projectile that breaks immediately upon block contact is a no go. However, waterbolt projectiles (for example) will skip up sloped blocks weirdly. They can bounce 8 times, so the scope for this effect is somewhat limited. They are also size 1, so are very tricky to manipulate in a reliably anyway.

boulders

Are the best example of (what is technically) a projectile being hoiked, I think. Beach balls are about the same size (size 2) and can be fully hoik looped.

Yoyos can be hoiked back and forth (probably right around), within their string length range (beyond which they will retract through blocks). As can minions and pets, if they are well behaved, both of which trigger projectile plates, so are technically projectiles, I guess.

^^

However, if you use a kind of clever teleportation system, you can actually make it hoik on forever, but it seems to be more work than it's worth, unless you're fighting The Moon Lord auto.

holly **** Zero Gravitas (you're amazing) and i can't seem to hoik the boulder is there something wrong in what i made ?

Anyone have a gif of a pet in a hoik loop? I know what I'm building today lol

 

[RoboticTea]

so anyone know how to hoik a boulder ?

Edit: Well, that's a minion, technically. But the companion cube, for example, seems to be sized 2, so would work the same.

Yeah, I noticed this playing 1.3.1. You can make water bolts graze along upward sloping terrain. pretty cool.

Not just the yoyo itself. You can also hoik the projectiles from the Terrarian (At least according to the official wiki they're projectiles)

 

[Reactorcore]

Grenades, bombs and dynamite seem like the most suitable projectile to hoik.

I just tried, and it turns out you can hoik flails, but not for more than 5 or 6 blocks, so it's not really useful.
