Fisher's Elemental Guns (U12)

You can imbue the weapon with a spell, and the bullets fired will have that same spell charge applied.

The Firearms can currently be found under "Firearms".

Elemental Guns Update 4.0.0 -  "U12" Update
- Updated for game Version U12


Elemental Guns Update 3.2.0 -  "Execution" Update
- Fixes "Bullet Bounce" issues
- Added dynamic system for close-up shots vs long-range shots
- HitScan distance can be configured or disabled entirely


=======================
HitScan/RayCast System
=======================
To configure or toggle the HitScan system for close-range shots, edit the following values in 'Levels/Level_Master.json':

"useHitscan": true,
"hitscanMaxDistance": 1.0

'useHitscan' can be either true or false, and 'hitscanMaxDistance' is how close (in meters) you must be for the system to activate.

You can also control the HitScan system for individual items by adding these fields to the 'SimpleBallistics.ItemModuleMagicFirearm' module of those firearms.

Elemental Guns Update 1.3.0
This update is mostly related to the code optimization, so hopefully there will be less lag now overall now! I have also continued tweaking the bullet physics.

(You might still see lag spikes when you first load/shoot the weapons, but it should be much better overall now)

Changelog:

• Continued tweaking on bullet physics
• Code optimization and refactoring (hopefully less lag overall after some initial spikes)
• Imbuement effects only last shortly now 
  

Note for modders: If you are making guns with this framework, you might want to try setting the mass of the bullet close to "1.0" and set the "bulletForce" on the weapons slightly lower. I have done that in my example weapons, and I find that these slower, heavier bullets tend to have better overall impacts.

Elemental Guns Update 1.2.0

In this update I've added ammo tracking, so if you run out of ammo press the SpellMenu button to reload.. I have also added the Nambu and "Enforcer" pistol variants, which use this new ammo tracking feature.

The grip angle for the handles should also be fixed now. I have set the angle to be 30/60 degrees from horizontal/vertical axes respectively.

The Nambu is single shot only, and the Enforcer can cycle fire modes (SpellMenu button when not empty)

Full Change log here:
- Added two (2) new pistol variants: "Nambu" and "Enforcer"
- Fixed handle orientations (gun grips now held at 30 degree offset from horizontal)
- Improved bullet physics (better penetration, less "bounce" from indirect hits)
- Implemented ammo tracking and reloads (if "ammoCapacity" is set in JSON, otherwise pistol will have inf ammo)
- Added support for reload sounds
- Reduced the "bare minimum" required to create a Unity Prefab that works with the framework
- Removed support for `soundVolume` option in JSON (not compatible with AudioMixerLinker)
- Cleaned up some log message spam





Elemental Guns Update 1.1.0

In this update I've added a 9mm pistol variant and have included support for Burst and Full-Auto modes. To cycle through fire modes, press the Spell Menu Button while holding the 9mm pistol (revolver only has single fire mode).

This will hopefully make it easier for myself and others to create rifles in the future.





Note for Modders:

You can add this mod as a dependency to create your own guns with my plugin.
