A simple bullet handler that accounts for network desync

easybullet's Issues

Add strict luau types

There is now type coverage for all objects and their properties but there are still a couple of problem type warnings being kicked by the luau analyzer.

Luau doesn't allow for string indexing of Instances

Forced to violate 'same as this' linter error to fix Luau recognizing an Instance as a table

Bullet casts can hit rendered bullet parts

This will cause a bug where they freeze in midair. I want to maintain the ability to use the cast filter list however the user sees fit, but somehow it needs to filter out other bullet parts.

TS Signal declaration missing generic variadic arguments

TS has no generic varargs like Luau, so there are no TS types for the arguments passed to the connected callbacks on the events of EasyBullet.

Firing a bullet is networked before ShouldFireCallback is called

In the interest of keeping network latency as low as possible, EasyBullet checks the ShouldFireCallback in EasyBullet._fireBullet, which is after the fired bullet is replicated to either the server or the clients.

To preserve that order and keep latency low, EasyBullet should assign a GUID to each bullet. This will allow the server to cancel a shot that's already been replicated to the clients by providing an index to look the bullet up in EasyBullet.Bullets
