-- The pierce function can also be used for things like bouncing.
-- In reality, it's more of a function that the module uses to ask "Do I end the cast now, or do I keep going?"
-- Because of this, you can use it for logic such as ray reflection or other redirection methods.
-- A great example might be to pierce or bounce based on something like velocity or angle.
-- You can see this implementation further down in the OnRayPierced function.
