[modding resource] Weapon Status Effect Script

Adds a script that, when in an activeitem context, will add the status effects mentionned in the item's config's statusEffects array.
The idea was to have weapons act like armors regarding status effects.

I see two ways of using it:

- When making a custom weapon, in the item's config, add the script in the scripts array and a statusEffects array, such as, for example in a gunthis would add the "mudslow" status effect whenever the gun's held.

- When spawning a custom item. For example, this command
will spawn a broom that'll apply the mudslow status effect. As activeitem scripts are client-side, items spawned with this script, such as above, should work when used on servers / next to people who aren't running this mod.
But!! if you give someone who doesn't have this mod an item with the script referenced, they'll crash whenever they're going to hold it. This means they won't even be able to take it from their inventory into the bin. Subscribbing to this mod then deleting the item then unsubscribbing, or an inventory editor will be required to fix it. Same goes for uninstalling this mod.

tl;dr don't give an item you've made with the above command to someone who doesn't have this mod

Giving a non-existant status effect will probably not do anything except fill your log file with warnings, but still better to avoid.


This should be, otherwise, compatible with everything.
