Needed to implement an ability that targets in an area around the player and fires 1 projectile per target when the player releases the button

Since I'm using GAS I took this as an opportunity to learn about TargetActors and... I figured it out! (1/2)

All the time spent learning to do basic animations was just so I could do a proper implementation of these 2 character's attacks and have animation-driven timings instead of artificial ones

Now it's time to move on to the super secret third character :x

Wind Trails are cool, everybody knows that. BUT. Wind Trails that follow a spline? That's where it's at.

We shipped a Mixed Reality game on Thursday, where a magical animal shows up at your house and needs a place to stay.

It doesn't have any guns, or even any murders, except about a thousand years ago in the backstory that hasn't been revealed.

Alright I think this should fix the issu... oh.
Yeah sure Unity, take your time, I'm sure the 50 characters I added must be giving you a lot to think about.
No worries.
That domain sure needs completion alright.
I'll do something else in the meantime I guess.

Fixed a sneaky bug in @stayforeverhome.bsky.social that involved items rescaling. Funny, but problematic

Putting an item in a slot? Fine. Having the slot rescale and then pulling the item out? Nooo no no, thats bad

NOT TRIVIAL I SWEAR, items are hard ok?
