Projectile wording heuristic

Some gun plugins report long-range hits as ENTITY_ATTACK instead of true projectiles.

  • Enable long-range-attacks-count-as-projectiles.
  • Set long-range-projectile-threshold-blocks to a reasonable value (typical: 5.0).

If you have long melee reach weapons, increase the threshold to avoid melee misclassification.
