Gooseheaded	Well, here's the problem... Whenever I use `atom/MouseDrag()` for rapid-fire (weapons), when I drag the mouse, the mob keeps shooting the same atom I clicked. How can I make it so that, when MouseDragging, it actually shoots on the tile you're dragging?

KillerGrand	Make it like src.Firing = MouseDrag I would suppose but unsure. ~Grand~

Satans Spawn	I believe it would involve checking the mouses position every time it fires a shot, which sounds very CPU intensive for online gaming. §atans§pawn

What are you checking for? You might want to check for atom/turf with the mouse drag command, and when bullets fly check for mobs or objs on the turf... Just and idea.
