drop your weapons

One of the most vexing gameplay bug I can think of in School Rush is that you can’t enter inkjets when carrying a dumblador. That can easily lead to moments of panic for most reactive players and frustrating death for others.

I now have it fixed, by dropping the requirement of NO_WEAPON when entering inkjets, adding a “THROW” test area when being in the inkjet and ensuring that we DROP_WEAPON if this area ever gets triggered.

What took me a bit too much time to figure out is that the impulse to drop an inkjet must be define as you enter the state with a F_THROW test area, and not on the found-matching-object transition expression (likely because the blador-side of the expression evaluation happens before the bilou-side expression).
