[RELEASE] Wire Effect - Now with download link!

[Tammy]

Wire effected created using a bunch of 2D shapes. It's fully working, but it's user not friendly yet, so I'm releasing it here so someone can figure out how to handle creation, saving, etc. Right now wires can be created between two bricks using the wire wand tool.

Changelog:
Beta 4:

• fxWireFunctions.cs: Fixed broken wireSetHidden, wireSetEmitter and wireSetColor functions
• item_wireWand.cs: Wire slack is now automatically calculated to make wires of all lengths look more natural. Hopefully in the future wire slack will be easily adjustable for manual tweaking.

Beta 3:

• fxWireFunctions.cs: Rewrote everything to use emitters to render wires
• fxWireFunctions.cs: $fxWires::shapeDataBlock changed to $fxWires::defaultEmitter
• fxWireFunctions.cs: Added function wireSetEmitter(%wire, %emitter)
• Known Bug: wireSetHidden(%wire, %hidden) is messed up. It needs to be changed to it sets the emitter's color to "0 0 0 0" to hide and brick to the default color to unhide.
  

Beta 2:

• item_wireWand.cs: Added global variable $fxWires::maxDist
• item_wireWand.cs: Full trust is now required to use
• item_wireWand.cs: Wires now change color and disappear when one of the bricks does
• item_wireWand.cs: Wires will be deleted if one of their bricks is destoryed
• item_wireWand.cs: Wire Wand will delete the wire if a wire already exist
• fxWireFunctions.cs: Added function wireSetHidden(%wire, %hidden)
• fxWireFunctions.cs: Added global variable $fxWires::wireQuota

I thought this was going to be an event system based off of a wiremod concept from gmod, thanks for crushing my soul with your dirty boot. Pretty cool though, may download when it's out.
