I'll post my (very scuffed) code that does this once I'm on my laptop.

thank you

This would go in the item code, note that this only spawns one projectile because I only needed a single one for this item. The 0f and 1f parameters are for velocity, in this case it only shoots straight down, so feel free to mess around with those numbers until it works as intended.

public override bool Shoot(Player player, EntitySource_ItemUse_WithAmmo source, Vector2 position, Vector2 velocity, int type, int damage, float knockback)
        {
            float PosX = Main.MouseWorld.X; //Makes the projectile always spawn above the cursor
            float PosY = player.position.Y - 600f; //makes the projectile spawn in the sky so it can shoot down
            Projectile.NewProjectile(source, PosX, PosY, 0f, 1f, type, damage, knockback, player.whoAmI);
            return false;
        }

small minor error with the code. it spawns and then instantly dissapears and doesnt fly down...
