[MBF21] Can I make an actual projectile that travels along the floor?

You want +FLOORHUGGER - for example, this is part of how the Hexen Lightning spell works.

Here's a lil example from my own work, a projectile hits the ground then runs along it spitting fire.

I really do. Unfortunately, it's not a thing in MBF21.

Ah, my apologies, read too fast.  I cannot help, but god luck sir!

While technically floorhugger projectiles aren't supported in mbf21 you can fake it by making a bouncing projectile that falls straight to the ground. One of the new monsters in my upcoming 1.1 release of MEDB uses ground hugging projectile in such a manner.

Once the bouncing stops the projectile will roll on the floor. A projectile that drops straight to the ground barely bounces at all.

Anything I can do to prevent it from dying from hitting a curb though? A projectile that only works on completely flat surface has limited applicability.

Sadly I do not believe so. One of the limitations of that work around.

Looks like missed part where you already knew that too. Oops.
