Similarly, properties do not have any type per se, with exception of some being an array. For all other targets that are below that distance, aiming slightly above the intersecting lines is necessary for anything at 200, 100, and 50 metres (respectively). // If an existing class is to be adjusted, it has to be declared using the class it inherits from originally.
