Is it possible to spawn something like a phantom, then make it go straight into the direction the player was looking (when they spawned it), then let it head back for the player after a few seconds? Also, is it then possible to check whether another entity hit the hitbox of that phantom?

What I'm trying to do:
I'm trying to make a lightsaber that players can throw vertically and let it come back after a few seconds. I thought of the above 'solution' but am not sure if it's possible in Denizen, if you have another idea feel free to drop it here.

I think it might be easier to use an npc and proximity triggers. But then how do I forcefully move an npc in a custom direction then let it shoot back to the player

Syntax

push [<entity>|...] (origin:<entity>/<location>) (destination:<location>) (speed:<#.#>) (duration:<duration>) (script:<name>) (def:<element>|...) (force_along) (precision:<#>) (no_rotate) (no_damage) (ignore_collision)

Short Description

Pushes entities through the air in a straight line.

Description

Pushes entities through the air in a straight line at a certain speed and for a certain duration,
triggering a script when they hit an obstacle or stop flying.

You must specify an entity to be pushed.

Usually, you should specify the origin and the destination. If unspecified, they will be assumed from contextual data.

You can specify the script to be run with the (script:<name>) argument,
and optionally specify definitions to be available in this script with the (def:<element>|...) argument.

or adjust velocity with vectors

reading that second part, it seems like there should be a better way to do this lol

#

im assuming this lightsaber can be thrown in any direction

#

and im also assuming this lightsaber being thrown would work similarly to a boomerang

#

if so that's entirely possible with denizen

I would use a "static" no-ai, no-gravity entity like an armor_stand and then rapidly teleport it in the direction and back
