CreateTrackingProjectileOptions

Hand-maintained replacement for the generated options: the API dump omits fields the engine actually consumes — Ability is REQUIRED for routing OnProjectileHit back to the ability, plus Source, bProvidesVision and iVisionTeamNumber (pocket2 KTOX-ISSUES #19).

Field	Type	Description
`vSourceLoc`	`Vector? = null`
`Target`	`BaseNPC? = null`
`iMoveSpeed`	`Int? = null`
`flExpireTime`	`Float? = null`
`bDodgeable`	`Boolean? = null`
`bIsAttack`	`Boolean? = null`
`bReplaceExisting`	`Boolean? = null`
`bIgnoreObstructions`	`Boolean? = null`
`bSuppressTargetCheck`	`Boolean? = null`
`iSourceAttachment`	`DOTAProjectileAttachment? = null`
`bDrawsOnMinimap`	`Boolean? = null`
`bVisibleToEnemies`	`Boolean? = null`
`Ability`	`BaseAbility? = null`	Routes OnProjectileHit / OnProjectileThink back to this ability — required in practice.
`Source`	`BaseNPC? = null`
`bProvidesVision`	`Boolean? = null`
`iVisionRadius`	`Int? = null`
`iVisionTeamNumber`	`Int? = null`
