PierceBugFix

PierceBugFix

Fixes piercing so that piercing shots hit the advertised number of enemies.

Currently there is a hardcoded limit of 5 hits before piercing shots stop checking for additional

hits. However, a single enemy can use up multiple of these hits, drastically reducing the number of

enemies that are actually hit, particularly for wide enemies.

This mod removes this hardcoded limit. It does so by directly modifying the assembly instructions of

the BulletWeapon.Fire and Shotgun.Fire methods. It changes the inc instruction which

increments the number counting up to 5 into a nop or do nothing instruction. This causes the

number to never reach 5, completely removing the hardcoded limit. Shots still naturally terminate

when hitting something non-damageable or if their actual piercing limit is reached.

It additionally changes the behaviour of shotguns piercing to no longer re-evaluate the spread on

every pierce. In the base game every pierce causes the spread of the shotgun shot to continually

increase, this mod fixes this so that each pellet simply continues on its original trajectory.
