// TheShuEd:
//I've redesigned the lightning system to be more optimized.
//Previously, each lightning element, when it touched something, would try to branch into nearby entities.
//So if a lightning bolt was 20 entities long, each one would check its surroundings and have a chance to create additional lightning...
//which could lead to recursive creation of more and more lightning bolts and checks.

//I redesigned so that lightning branches can only be created from the point where the lightning struck, no more collide checks
//and the number of these branches is explicitly controlled in the new function.
