Throw objects top down with mouse click

hi guys,
I want to make a pacman game with a little twist
I want a local multiplayer-mode, where the mouseplayer can throw an object into the way of pacman with a click of the mouse button at the position of the cursor.
Then there should be a delay between this throw and the next. I have implemented a spawning of objects already, but the “shoot” out in front of pacman.
i have seen this answer, but in his case, he wants “pacman” to fire out the projectiles. In my case, they should come from the top, out of the “crosshair”.

Can somebody show me how to do this?

Thank you :slight_smile:
