Snowmageddon

V1.2 patch notes continued

Level Tweak, you now need to jump over the fences as they have been moved together and no longer have gaps.
AI Tweak: reduced the target size of the star waypoints, this should hopefully lead to less clustering of enemies when attacking the star.
Towers now keep track of how many kills they personally have gotten credit for.
Look at a tower and press E when within 3M of the tower to open the tower info gui.
Cleaned up the scene files that we no longer use.
Renamed endlesModeTest to EndlessMode.
Moved MouseLook from standard assets to our repo due to our edits to it.
WaveController, ItemsController, MouseLook now operate off of PlayerPrefs and will reload the value each time the options menu is closed.
Changed the models for item pickups, they are now more clear as to what they do.

Bug Fixes
Bug Fix: when using the kill all command it would throw an exception for an unknown ammo type.
Bug Fix: Snowballs and other projectiles will now properly despawn if they miss an enemy.
Bug Fix: The skip wave timer button will now be disabled/enabled properly.
Bug Fix: You can no longer bypass the shot delay by switching weapons and then switching back.
Bug Fix: where items were picked up at the end of the wave but only coins would actually be given to the player.
Bug Fix: Fixed an issue where snowmen that don’t have animations yet would spam the console when asked to do an animation they don’t have.

As long as they stay within the range of the shield they will keep this buff forever.
