Bugfixes

• Fixed bug where a delay doesn't occur whenever the entity switches weapon in some occassions
• Fixed bug where a random item would spawn at the level's origin whenever certain non-player entities spawn
• Fixed bug where a consumable item could be eaten without being selected

¹ Instead of blasting raycasts everywhere, it now detects all objects within range and blasts raycasts towards each affected object. Explosion damages and forces are both multiplied by exposure and inverse square of distance. Explosions no longer burn.

² Due to aforementioned change, all guns' projectile mass have been multiplied by 40 to avoid unintentional changes

³ Medium projectiles can only pierce through breakables 4 times. Medium projectiles can pierce if the thickness is less than 0.75. Medium projectiles lose 25% of their potential damage and 50% of their speed upon piercing. Heavy projectiles can pierce through breakables and entities (only if the entity dies upon contact) 8 times. Heavy projectiles lose 15% of their potential damage upon piercing. Heavy projectiles can pierce if the thickness is less than 2. All other types cannot pierce.

⁴ All assault rifles' damage fade percent loss is 50%, start distance is 128, and end distance is 384. All submachine guns' damage fade percent loss is 75%, start distance is 64, and end distance is 128. All pistols' damage fade percent loss is 75%, start distance is 128, and end distance is 256. All shotguns' damage fade percent loss is 96%, start distance is 4, and end distance is 64. All other guns, including sniper rifles, do not have this effect.
