Problem description:
Somehow the fireball object won't appear. When I do
new/obj/projectiles/FireBall(src.x,src.y,src.z,src.dir,src)

it works. But the location isnt right.
Maybe you see the problem?

That is your problem. If step_x is 10, step_y is 7, and z is 1, you would be locating them to (10,7,1). Notice however, that these are not the caster's x, y, and z variables. The player's step_x/y vars could be 10/7 respectively, while their x and y vars could be 52 and 76, yet you would still be locating the missile at 10,7.
Step_x and step_y are used for pixel movement and reference the number of pixels that the player is offset from their current turf. The x, y, and z vars correspond to the turf that they are located on in the map.
