--- Helper function to make an NPC fire one or more projectiles. Returns the fired projectile(s).
-- 
-- Use this function instead of the `EntityNPC.FireProjectiles` method if you need to modify or
-- access the `EntityProjectile` objects after they are fired, since this function returns the
-- objects in an array.
-- 
-- @param npc The NPC to fire the projectile(s) from. You can also pass undefined if you do not want
-- the projectile(s) to come from anything in particular.
-- @param position The staring position of the projectile(s).
-- @param velocity The starting velocity of the projectile(s).
-- @param projectilesMode Optional. The mode of the projectile(s). Default is
-- `ProjectilesMode.ONE_PROJECTILE`.
-- @param projectileParams Optional. The parameters of the projectile(s). Default is
-- `ProjectileParams()`.
-- @returns The fired projectile(s).

--- Helper function to spawn projectiles in a circle around a position. Under the hood, this
-- leverages `ProjectileMode.N_PROJECTILES_IN_CIRCLE`.
-- 
-- @param npc The NPC to fire the projectile(s) from. You can also pass undefined if you do not want

-- @param position The staring position of the projectile(s).
-- @param speed The speed of the projectile(s).
-- @param numProjectiles The amount of projectiles to spawn.
