Aim Helper

A mod to help you hit things.

Features:
* Allows you to throw a weapon to any direction while holding direction inputs (similar to Aim Anywhere and Omnithrow, but if you release the inputs it defaults to horizontal);
* Snaps aim to a creature within customizable degrees of the throw direction.
* You can disable most features if you only want one of them.
* Works with Jolly Coop.
And
* Only snaps to scavengers that are hostile to you.
* Pointing emote allows you to throw on pointing direction regardless of config.
* Passive creatures like batflies are lower priority so if a hostile creature is behind them then will target it first.

Known Issues:
- There is currently no filter for creatures of The Watcher DLC, every critter is considered hostile by default and will be targeted. Please help by reporting weird behaviours.

Mod conflicts:
! Omnithrow and Aim Anywhere probably prevents this from working, please disable them as Aim Helper mod also provides the same ability of free aiming / vertical aiming.
!! Split-Screen mod is currently incompatible with the visuals module, it looks broken/duplicate visible lines but the actual snapping should work fine.

Ingame description:
Aim Helper allows you throw a weapon to any direction while holding direction inputs, if you release the inputs it defaults to horizontal.
Aim Helper also snaps your aim to a creature within customizable degrees of the throw direction.

I learned Rain World modding and c# just to make this mod, because I wanted to fix Omnithrow being sticky to the last input direction, and be able to do what Aim Anywhere does but with a Gamepad Controller instead of the mouse cursor. This could replace both mods at the same time!

Feedback is appreciated :D

Todo, future features I want to add:
* Add "no batfly targeting" checkbox, for those people spamming the comments, really hating batflies being valid targets even as low priority targets
* Make a proper video showcase to convince people that this is better than Omnithrow mod even at doing only what Omnithrow is supposed to do, without the snapping feature.
* Add "always target scavs" checkbox, for those people that want to kill all scavs anyway and the edge cases where scavengers behave hostile while the variables are returning "friendly" for some reason.
* Some kind of math lerp checkbox for keyboard users to allow more than 8 directions. (Basically "aim smoothing")
* Per player toggle. (You get a checkbox, and they get a checkbox, everyone gets a checkbox)
* Check how it's possible to use advanced math for arc prediction.
* Check if it's possible to use devtools code for mouse input.
* Check how I can change spear properties on the fly to embed in ceilings and floors as if it was a backflipping throw.
* Put the mod on github, eventually, some day... (Lots of IRL events and priorities)
