Targetting outside the map

[ghostbuster]

In some situations, it is important to be able to target behind the ennemy (because of obstacles, to reach several ennemies with a beam, etc). In general it is quite possible and works very well, except if you want to target outside of the map.

In that case, you can scroll the map with a shift-left-mouse, but when you want to do the targetting, the display is recentered, and you cannot target outside the map...

Quite true, the behavior could be a little better. You can still aim off the screen if you use the keyboard: hold down shift as you press direction keys. (Note: I don't think this works in the arena campaign)

Although I think that if you want to aim somewhere beyond the edge of the map (as opposed to the screen), you're still out of luck.
