Firebeam animation is patched (more info below)



Delves deep into the realms of lua bullshittery to get around the animation issue.

*what is the issue?*

I'm glad you asked! when you fire the firebeam, the animation plays over top of a static barrel due to the way muzzle flashes are calculated. it also lingers on the first frame for an extra .01 seconds, making it appear less smooth.

*how does it get around the issues?*

Using the recoil function, it essentially pushes the barrel really, really far offscreen (courtesy of Remi for this idea), and pulls it back at the end of the firing sequence - all without using dynamic scripting! and to fix the looping issue, it was simply a case of changing a .05 to a .04.
