Woodelves Homing Arrow Fixed

Wooldelf seeker arrows are quite broken when fired from the ground. They work very well when fired from the air or from a high platform, but when shot from the ground they tend to always fly too low, especially when firing at a target behind an obstacle or on a higher platform.

This mod attempts to fix the issue by tweaking with the trajectory of the homing arrows used by the Woodelf Lord and Hero characters, including Glade Lords, Glade Captain and Waystalker. When the character is on foot or on a horse-ish mount, the arrow will have a much higher trajectory to help clear any obstacles or terrain. This mod does NOT change the arrows when the character has a flying mount, even if you manually land the character, they will still use the vanilla arrow instead of the new, fixed arrow.

Arrows will still seek the target, and I've slightly increased the tracking strength so it doesn't do anything stupid while the target is moving. Note that the arrow is not supposed to have perfect tracking, it is theoretically possible for it to miss in extreme circumstances, though such situations should be much, much rarer due to the higher trajectory.

Arrows will also prefer the central targets within a unit with multiple entities. So instead of always shooting the one single model at the edge of a formation, it will now be more likely to aim for the center and make use of its penetration to damage multiple targets.

The new trajectory looks a bit silly, I know. That's just due to the drawbacks of the broken homing mechanism in the game engine. It works, as far as my testing have shown. So who cares if it looks a bit weird. Have fun!

Compatibility:

I won't be updating this mod very often, but that shouldn't matter at all. This mod should *always* work, unless some day the devs decide to specifically modify the arrows. Just force the launder to enable this mod if it says "outdated".
