Oh? Sorry, I didn't see a statement of objective for the mod, and from the features added I just got the impression that it was about adding modding options. I guess the part where it has interface behavior instead of just back-end behavior is what's out of scope?

Love your work, Yankes!

Any chance that you might be able to implement something like UFOExtenders "burst" and "full auto" firing modes?

What I mean is, they let you click on multiple points, and then would auto-fire ranging between those points.

In mods now you see a lot of weapons that fire very large numbers of shots in automatic mode (5 shots, even up to 20 shots!) but if you actually want to use these weapons to spray down an area you have to stick them on a rookie with bad aim and hope for the best, because someone with good aim will put all the rounds into the same spot.

If you could add the ability for a weapon to set two points for all the shots in auto mode will be distributed between, that would be great. (Basically, the first shot is aimed at the first point you click, the second 1/(N-1) of the way between the first and second points, the third 2/(N-1) between the first and second points, and so on until the last shot is aimed right at the second point)

That way we could actually use miniguns to shred cover in jungles, and try to kill several aliens that are grouped together with sustained fire.
