Misc update

[h3]Version 0.5550920338[/h3]
🎯 [Performance] Performance has been increased by a rework of lightning-based particle effects.
🎯 [Bug fix] Fixed a bug in the physics engine which caused some raycasts not to trigger on certain contacts. In particular, this bug could cause explosions not to hit some targets.
