    /// Procedurally generates a cone mesh and assigns it to the GameObject's
    /// <see cref="MeshFilter"/>. Unity ships no built-in cone primitive, so this
    /// fills that gap for tower visuals (e.g. the Basic Arrow Tower).
    /// </summary>
    /// <remarks>
    /// <b>Visual only.</b> No networking, no collision — the mesh is purely cosmetic.
    /// The existing MeshRenderer + material (and any owner/paint tinting via
    /// <c>TowerInstance.tintedRenderers</c>) keep working unchanged.
    ///
    /// <b>Pivot.</b> The cone is centred on the local origin: its base ring sits at
    /// <c>y = -height/2</c> and its apex at <c>y = +height/2</c>, matching the vertical
    /// extents of a unit cube so it sits on a build tile the same way the old cube did.
    ///
    /// <b>Edit-time.</b> <c>[ExecuteAlways]</c> rebuilds the mesh in the editor so the
    /// cone is visible without entering play mode. The generated mesh is flagged
    /// <c>HideFlags.DontSave</c> so it is never written out as a project asset.
