create returning axe item and "fake" item used for the returning graphics. The names are important and must match those in the script to work.

clone every monster and add the onProjectileHit hook to check if monster was hit by returning axe.

clone the party and add the 3 necessary hooks onAttack; onProjectileHit and OnPickupItem. If you already have a party clone, add these hooks.

Do a bunch of stuff!!
NOTES
1) Axe only returns if it hits a monster with the hook (so you can prevent some monsters by removing them from the MonsterList)
2) Axe deals 0 ~ 1 damage to a front party member when it returns
3) Axe teleports to the hand of the thrower when it hits the party
4) if the party moves it will not catch the Axe, but can go and pick it up. When you do, it teleports to the hand of the thrower if possible.
5) if the the thrower has no free hands when the axe returns (or is picked up) it will land on the ground, but can be picked up normally.
