Turret Fixes Galore!

 With last week being... quite the disappointment in terms of production and this week being the first week of putting everything together - We had to work extremely quickly to get things functioning. Tons of Googling and Placing Towers YouTubing were done across the weekend to get the Tower Script working.

 I drew a lot of inspiration and code ideas from the "Unreal Engine 4 Simple RTS Building Placement" Video by pally qle.

 While the video's code didn't fit our needs exactly, I had to play around with the code to allow it to fit our needs a lot more... Thus coming up with the following code:

 This code was brought to the Programmer's Meet (where everything comes together and all bugs are fixed) where we decided to add various bits to the Spawn Towers bit based on Julian's code (Player value implementation).

The following code was added to the bottom of the Build Turret Code which was worked on by all 3 Programmers. This uses Julian's code which implements the player's Gold and checks if the player has enough gold to build the turret in the first place.

Overall, we've got the Player setup quite well this week - They can move around, build turrets, shoot and has values for Gold and Health.
