Spawnable Trebuchet

Description
Spawnable medieval trebuchet.

Quick use
Hold E for the camera to follow the projectile.
Press T for firing automatically
Press R for reloading automatically

How to use:

Firing
1) Pull the end of the rope to the ball. This will also set it on fire, do not leave it there for very long.
2) Pull the rope on the side to disengage the pin for firing
3) (Optionally) Hold interact to follow the path the fireball takes

Reload
1) Bring a new ball to the rail, at the back. (a little force helps you lift it and rolls it to the other end)
2) Interact with the winch to start pulling the arm down. (can be done before 1)
3) Once the arm has been pulled down, lock it in place by pulling the pin close to the end of the arm
4) Loosen the winch used to pull the arm down.

Aiming:
Interact with the pin to adjust rope length and release angle. The predicted trajectory is approximate, not perfectly accurate. Longer rope tends to result in more power.
Optional: choose auto aim and click on the target after for the trebuchet to aim automatically (not too accurate)
Rotate the small gear for aiming sideways

Things that don't work:
-uneven terrain (meant for flat terrain only)
-trying to reload without spawning any extra ammo

Future plans:
Make it simpler to aim
Make it more accurate
Options
Nicer looking auto reload and firing

i think it might be broken a few times in a row it hit the reload crank and ripped itself in-half and dropped the ball late

Ease of use was not considered a priority during development.
