Summary0004244: Ball Lightning follows the ground in some cases, but not in others
DescriptionIf you stand in front of a slope and fire off a ball lightning, it will follow the slope upwards. However, you have to angle it slightly upwards for it to do this, and if you fire it slightly downwards on flat terrain, it crashes into the ground. I suggest it would follow the terrain no matter the angle you fire it at, but at different speeds; if you fire it more or less straight down, it would stay more or less still until it dissipates; if you fire it at a 45 degree angle downwards, it would hug the ground while travelling forwards, but if it hit a slope it would stop moving.

This would be really, really difficult -- it's a solid day at least of trying to figure out what this is. It's a vague possibility, but definitely not a priority. Physics stuff is always my least favorite.

As it happens, this was fixed in 0.509 as I worked on something else more serious. It's pretty cool!

Was wondering if that change in the changelog would fix this!
