@ErminioLucente this one I do not understand, could you clarify?

[ErminioLucente]

this one I do not understand, could you clarify?

A shot (or instance, spell, room, whatever it might be) that basically takes another shots properties and simply uses those fields as its own without needing to write those out. i believe TheSim or Q knows about this request.

Another Example...
[spell66]
Name = SPELL1
CastAtThing = 0
ShotModel = NOSHOT

[spell67] :
Name = SPELL2
INHERIT = SPELL1 << here we take all the properties from spell 1 to use for this shot.
ShotModel = NOSHOT_2 << this here does not inherit the shot property, instead uses this as its own.
you will notice how cast at thing is not listed, thats because i dont need/want to change its properties for this shot.
