There are objects that produce light, but none that produce it centered on a specific area. It'd probably be better to use a semi transparent circle to simulate a glow

Have you reached Algebra yet? You're going to need to use a parabola equation. Y = ax^2 + bx + c. a, b, and c are dependent on the arc of the parabola - mess around until you get it, I've never tried it before. Unfortunately, Alice has no collision, so it is very hard to make a realistic arrow hit.

Yep, though not within Alice. You'll need Arty's Save Tool, pinned in the share objects section. Save the values of the variables to files, and recall them upon opening the game.

I know you can create this illusion by making the objects shoot out, turn invisible, then come back. But can I do it with the projectile staying where it landed (until a certain amount of them are in the world). Maybe using an array, but i dont know.

Unfortunately, again, Alice has no inborn tool for duplicating objects.
Arty, again, has a very nice duplication method you can use.
