This is codes to use the “closest player to reticule” with an array, Here they are used to function like sym 2.0 beam, but it doesn’t include the Create beam command. You can tweak it a bit so it works differently
I felt like sharing these because they are really important since closest player to reticule doesn’t include LOS check, view angle check and if the target is alive or not.
If you want to use them, you can change Event Player to any player or positional vector (don’t forget to change the Eye Position if you go for a vector), the value of Distance between and View angle.
Feel free to ask anything, or correct me if I’m wrong!

Edit: Here’s the base code without any of the arrays

actions
{
	Set Player Variable(Event Player, A, First Of(Sorted Array(Empty Array, Angle Between Vectors(Facing Direction Of(Event Player),
		Direction Towards(Event Player, Current Array Element)))));
}
