I am trying to create a custom projectile, I want the entity that hit the projectile to have the tag "hit" added, but when I tried to do it and put "affect_target": true, "affect_projectile": false, "affect_shooter": false. the event was still executed to the entity and not to the one that hit.
"on_hit": {
"impact_damage": {
"damage": 4,
"knockback": true
},
"remove_on_hit": {},
"definition_event": {
"affect_target": true,
"affect_projectile": false,
"affect_shooter": false,
"event_trigger": {
"event": "spell",
"target": "self"
}
}
}

Would mob targeting data have anything to do with affect_shooter? I've found that setting "affect_shooter" to true doesn't execute the event on the shooter like I'd expect.

"affect_target" most likely refers to the entity that was targeted by the shooting mob. This would only work with mobs that shoot at targets they have acquired with targeting behavior components. It would not work with players shooting projectiles since they do not use mob targeting data.
The "on_hit" section defines what happens when the projectile hits (strikes, impacts) a mob. It does not have any effect when the projectile is hit (deflected) by a player or slime block. I don't think it is possible to run events from the projectile component when it is deflected.
Does this explain your issue?
