Weapon won't fire anything

A better explanation is that there's a class hierarchy involved.
Parent Class > More parent classes > etc > specific object name
GhastFireballImage::onFire
WeaponImage::onFire
ShapeBaseImageData::onFire
and then I forget the rest of the parent classes
And then packages will be added on top of whatever it's packaging.
GhastFireballImage::onFire
[Package2]WeaponImage::onFire
[Package1]WeaponImage::onFire
WeaponImage::onFire
ShapeBaseImageData::onFire
The game will check for these in this order.
If the top one doesn't exist, check the next one down.
If it calls parent, call the next one down as well.
If it doesn't call parent, then we're all done, stop going down the list.
