Intuitive Projectile Launcher System

Tired of pulling out your awesome rocket arm just to watch a rocket fly by an enemy and hit a wall? Worry no more - make the Projectile Launcher System finally make sense!

Grenades can be thrown with a visual guide and pinpoint accuracy; without something similar for the launcher, consistent homing missiles seem a fair compromise!

SCRIPTING CHANGES

1. In the vanilla game, only enemy NPCs can be targeted for lock-on by the Projectile Launcher System, and enemies are only correctly labeled as enemy NPC's during combat! This meant that before combat, or while sneaking, you would always miss and fire at the center of the screen.

With my scripting changes, all NPCs - currently in combat or not - can be targeted. Want to sneak up on an enemy and send a rocket directly at them to start your combat encounter? Now you can.

2. If an enemy is within the new targeting angle and distance, the homing function will override and always be used, even if the game attempts to initiate a launch at the center of your screen.

This means a rocket will only launch directly at the center of the screen if there is no NPC within the mod-adjusted targeting parameters.

TL/DR: Homing missiles will always be used unless the target is incredibly far away, and all NPCs can now be targeted even if you are not in combat!

TARGETING PARAMETERS

1. Max targeting distance increased to 150 meters.

2. Maximum angle from the targeting reticle changed to 75 degrees, a value carefully chosen to improve precision when many NPCs are on screen.
