How to make a dash?

I want to give the rapier weapon class in my mod a dash that launches the player in the direction they're looking at the cost of a very small amount of xp while also dealing damage to any monsters in the way of the dash, and finally having a cooldown of 15 seconds. So far, I've been able to launch the player in a fixed direction, but that's it. Please offer any advice you can.

To have it deal damage, do you think I could have it launch a projectile that moves at the same speed as the player with the hatbox that I want the dash to have? I haven't messed around with projectiles much yet.

Or if it's possible to make to add an "if / then" clause to detect then deal damage to any entity?
