New tower type built on a generic beam mode in TowerCombat, and a new system for generating tower icons through the TD menu at the top of Unity

  • TowerDefinition gains beam settings (IsBeam, BeamDoublingSeconds,
    BeamMaxMultiplier, BeamPierceRadius, BeamPierceDamageFraction). Beam
    towers tick damage at AttacksPerSecond; each tick doubles every
    BeamDoublingSeconds on the same target up to the cap. Losing the target
    for any reason (death, range, disable, match stop, retarget) resets it.
  • The beam stays locked on its target and burns through anything in its
    path: a capsule overlap along the beam line hits every enemy in it.
    The line is defined once on TowerCombat (beamOrigin / beamTargetHeight)
    and shared by the damage check and LaserBeamVisual.
  • LaserBeamVisual draws the beam client-side from the replicated target
    and heats it up with the ramp; no per-tick RPCs.
  • New TowerDefinition.Paintable flag, off for the laser, enforced on the
    client paint click and the server RPC.
  • HUD stats/tooltip show beam DPS range, time to full power and piercing.
  • LaserTower asset, placeholder prefab, M_Laser_Beam material and draft
    card, appended to the tower and draft catalogs.
  • Regenerated tower icons for every tower via TD > Generate Tower Icons.
