Question: is that projectile ever really created in this scenario?

ds1-e commented 2 years ago

Only explosion occurs, i've tested with getElementsByType and it shows 0 all the time. I (think that) might solve my issue by using onClientExplosion combined with onClientProjectileCreation - because onClientPlayerWeaponFire isn't reliable for rocket launcher.

Not exactly, a bug implies that it wasn't intentional. However, if the explosion happens immediately there's never a need to create a projectile, which is something that R* devs quite likely considered when writing this code. Intentional game design that unfortunately clashes with our implementation of the projectile creation event.
