Update 0.24 Bow Shooting

Bow, arrows and spear, trident available as distance weapons to hunt and defense.

Equip spear, trident or boomerang into right hand. Press and hold left mouse button for pull and aim. Press left mouse button to throw,

Equip bow in left hand. Press and hold left mouse button for pull and aim. Arrows will be auto equipped from inventory to your left hand (if you have them). Press left mouse button to fire.

Spear, trident, bow, boomerang and even arrow can be also used as melee weapons to punch or stick. Just left click without holding right mouse button.

To aim use HUD.

Please this is very first iteration - I have used only simple basic animation - so shooting and aiming might look strange from some viewing angles. This will be replaced with advanced ones as soon the basic mechanic is tested. Thank you for your understanding.

Bear can be killed by hits from arrow, spear or trident - each is giving different damage. Hit into chest (heart) area are more lethal. It might even die after few moments - if moving arrow in wound gives him additional damage.
Bear can not be hurt by boomerang.
Bear will not respawn once killed.

Birds can be killed by just 1 hit boomerang inclusive.

Bear drops "fish" meat. This will be replaced in "Meat and Bones Update"

Also we will add several types of arrows - after "Birds Update"

To it new hunting prey will come - as seagull, rabbit (currently spawning in traps only) and other small animals.

Thank you for your support.

Have fun.
