??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

-There are two systems here, one is based on a set variable that the player sets and the other is based on a bow system.
*Bow System* Shoots farther depending upon which bow you have in your inventory.
*Variable System* Shoots farther depending upon the level of power you set. (type -sp ## to change power)

-This system makes it so you can shoot an arrow that only does damage if it actually hits its target, meaning that if it goes over the target it does not deal any damage, but if it hits them in the head it does a headshot.

-The only thing you will have to change is if you use different models you will either have to scale them to the same height (so it hits them correctly) or find the height of the model ( I used an arrow and change the height on it in the world editor till i found the right size). Also if you have a bunch of different models add some if thens into the arrow damage making the separate heights. MORE IN README 2 UNDER IMPORTANT

-If you feel really special you can even make it so that you can change the speed at which the arrow moves. Just make another variable called speed and put it in place of the 15 in (Unit - Move (Picked unit) instantly to ((Position of (Picked unit)) offset by 15.00 towards (Facing of (Picked unit)) degrees), facing (Facing of (Picked unit)) degrees) in the movement steps.

*Important* - You to import the Variable Attack and Bow Attack folders into your map along with the spells, arrows, and variables. You do not need the init or uh oh folders, or the readme for that matter. You will need to set the HeroArcher and Archer variables to the corresponding spells that you give them.
*Archer for Variable Attack
*HeroArcher for Bow Attack *Only one unit per player can have this skill*

-Neither of these systems work like real arrows when the terrain is bumpy. (Working on way to fix)
