[World of Warcraft] Entangling Roots Spell SWEP

🔧 UPDATE 1.1:
◦ The Rooted effect now only prevents the player from moving away from the position at which they were rooted. Players can now still use their weapons or fight back while rooted.

🔧 UPDATE 1.1.2:
◦ Added additional HUD element
◦ Added ability to root any entity type.
◦ Attempts to clean up the code in a neat fashion

Adds the Entangling Roots spell as a SWEP into Garry's Mod.


The Entangling Roots spell chooses a ground location from which roots will rise from the ground; These roots will temporarily root any players within a small radius to the ground, which makes them unable to move for nearly 4 seconds. This spell has a longer cooldown and allows to be cast multiple times at a lower rate.
Miss-casting the spell penalizes the caster for a portion of the total cooldown time.
Any rooted target will automatically break free if damaged by any source, before otherwise getting released.
Targets may still use their weapons or look around from where they were initially rooted.

Criterium for a successful spell-cast:
🔒 The target must be on the ground, where there isn't an empty distance followed below the crosshair.
🔒 The target must be within a medium range of the caster.

🎮 Left Mouse Button: Casts an instance of Entangling Roots onto a surface that the player is looking at.
