did you intend for the lazers to be cut off by both Creeper and Anti Creeper?

Very nifty. I too found that the beam was deactivated by Anti-Creeper. Not a biggie to get rid of.  THe control was dodgy, though. I must have misread that Shift-left-click activated movement. It only becae apparent half-way through when I accidentally used Shift-click to select multiple units.

Still  interesting, though.

Clever! I like it. 8/10. Fix the anti-creeper disabling the laser, for sure. The "shift to toggle mouse follow" scheme is interesting, because you have to sit idle while the laser tracks.

Sorry, i didn't notice AC was disabling the beam in testing. And controls are simply left-shift to toggle movement.
There needs to be a way to update maps easily.

@$%^#@&^#%*^#$&*##!$%!^!^!$!!!!!!!

Many of the keyboard shortcuts use the shift key.  As my right hand is usually on the mouse and the keys are over on the left that means I always use the left shift with them--and now I have that laser following me around again rather than doing it's job.
