      It will crash. Use a blank sprite with two frames, at least.

      Yeah, as he said. Just use black squares as sprites.

      In EVC and EVO, it didn't crash when you didn't assign a sprite to a weapon, but it exhibited strange behavior (like using the target brackets as sprites, alternating with various asteroids and with a few interface graphics thrown in for good measure).

      Or do what Meowx did with their invisible missiles for Quantumire.

      What did Meowx do with the invisible missiles for Quantumire? You need to explain yourself better.

      Using not only a black image for sprite, but also mask as well. But make sure all the other resource datas are as what it should be as if you were making a weapon like keeping the spin resource at the matrix of 6x6.

      download EnRle/DeRle and then copy the Rle8, RleD, and spin resource for stellar grenade (chosen beecause it only has 2 frames) into a blank plugin and then drop them on DeRle. Then open up the pictures and copy them to Photoshop, just make everything black, then open up the masks and make everything black. Voila, invisible missle.
