• Fixed an animation bug with consumables.

🛠️ Modding Tools Updates

• Time of day functions now available (see doc!)
  
• Added functions to get the current second, minute, hour, day, month, and year

• "enter_raid" ➡️ Called once when the raid is started. Specifically this runs right after you continue past the loading screen.
  
• "exit_train" ➡️ Called once when the player gets off the train during a raid. This is performed immediately after the player position near the train.
