4 slow and painful hours after a shift in dollar town. Didn't get a whole lot done, but I'm trying to not be too upset about it, dollar town is draining.
Projectiles now rotate inside the player. They disappear in a rotating order as the player fires them off. They then reappear in the same rotational order over time. The reappearance of orbs corresponds with the ammo regen stats happening in the character controller. The orbs fade up to 50% transparency, then hand there until the process is complete, at which point it jumps to fully opaque and begins work on the next orb. These are not perfectly emulated actions, but its a start. It took me like 2 hours to figure out how to rotate an object around another, and it still throws an error on start for each object. Not a brilliant day, but it'll do.
