2-for-one pointing

One thing I love about TG Station is that you can point more than one time, although it gets a bit excessive sometimes. I think we should increase the pointing capacity to 2 for the same cooldown (as in, a burst of 2 before the cooldown starts), so that we can point at two things.

For example: Pointing at someone, and then pointing somewhere else to tell them where to go. i.e., Private, push! Private, retreat! MT, open this door for me!

Or, for cross-referencing things, like pointing to a downed person and to their gun (grab both!), or perhaps an attachment and a gun, as if to say, put them together!

I can’t see any downsides to this, any opinions (or volunteers to code it, perhaps? :P)? SL already gets this multiple times over, but I’ve always seen the big SL thing being the massive green arrow instead of the little red one, and that’s already useful!

This is a great idea. Fantastic thinking @Willzadl.

the pointing cooldown kinda infuriates me because pointing is such a critical way to communicate info quickly in ss13 and it’s handicapped unless you have leader skill. I kinda understand why it’s gimped to stop people spamming it and being annoying and stuff but yeah… like the fact you cant even point to someone and then point to a location/item is frustrating.
