22. Our homing properties section is the bread and butter of our class. This is where
    you'll alter the default values for anything to do with locking onto pawns.
    // Homing properties
    /* angle for locking for lock
    targets when on Console /
    ConsoleLockAim=0.992

/** How far out should we be before considering actors for

a lock? */

LockRange=9000

// Angle for locking, for lockTarget

LockAim=0.997

// How often we check for lock

LockChecktime=0.1

// How long does player need to hover over actor to lock?

LockAcquireTime=.3

// How close does the trace need to be to the actual target

LockTolerance=0.8

23. Animations are an essential part of realism, so we want the camera to shake
    when firing a weapon, in addition to an animation for the weapon itself.
    // camera anim to play when firing (for camera shakes)
    FireCameraAnim(1)=CameraAnim'Camera_FX.ShockRifle.
    C_WP_ShockRifle_Alt_Fire_Shake'

// Animation to play when the weapon is fired

WeaponFireAnim(1)=WeaponAltFire

24. While we're on the topic of visuals, we may as well add the flashes at the muzzle,
    as well as the crosshairs for the weapon.
    // Muzzle flashes
    MuzzleFlashPSCTemplate=WP_ShockRifle.Particles.
    P_ShockRifle_MF_Alt

MuzzleFlashAltPSCTemplate=WP_ShockRifle.Particles.

P_ShockRifle_MF_Alt

MuzzleFlashColor=(R=200,G=120,B=255,A=255)
