Seems like he is starting to feel a little better.
No yipes for two days, at least when I've been around.
He has been less careful about his movement on walks which is a good sign. And no more limber tail.
I guess it really was just his back all twisted up.

Basically rushing Beau to the vet tomorrow morning.
Something weird is up. All his habits (eating drinking etc) are normal, but when he moves a certain way (or I pick him up) he yipes.
Im not sure if he ate something he shouldn't have or if he twisted himself somehow... 1/2

Turret Prototype going well. Added a line of sight visual for the player. Luckily after making parent classes I'll never actually have to fuss with it ever again except to iterate on cleanliness
Pistol Laser Bounces added after refactor hell.

Made parent classes for enemies, pick ups, and turrets. Moving forward with more stuff... eventually - after I figure out how i want to stop turrets from attacking.

Yesterday I Moved over the weapon system completely. Added reflection bounce for the pistol beam. Worked a little more on the turret states.
Today im going to be fine tuning the turrets more and reworking the laser VFX
What are you working on today?

Soon I'll generalize it with a dot product compared to world up to know if im using Yaw or Pitch.
Essentially im just caching the furthest left and right angle then getting distance of them in order to calculate rotation for idle and where cone vision will be.

So the only thing I have to add is a pass through == comparison to the switch from the item that is modifying the value, but like if something takes value its just -float if its addition its just a +float. And for some reason brain didn't realize I dont need insane amounts of logic.

Totally okay with getting rid of the vertical lines that tear to death.
I have added smoothness to the camera.
Small amount of motion blur (basically unnoticable) in order to smooth some things out as well. Next I'll do health and ammo resources and make more shaders.
