does anyone have any idea how to create a weapon which targets multiple Targets at the same time - sort of like the arc welder weapon of red faction gorrilla?

the weapon i have in mind, is a chain-lightning or plasma burst weapon that when fired normally hits everthing in front of it within range (like the grenages or missile launcher hit everything in splatter range), but when fired in vats could be set to target 2-3 diffrerent targets, but when confermed shoots at them all at the same time, either with plasma bolts or with electrical effect (sort of like a tesla cannon.)

i hope someone can help me with this, or at the least tell me if itcould it be done , either as a reguler weapon or with a script to make it do it.

First off, that would be cool. All I can provide insight to, is to make a weapon that fires indevidual shots, but can hit a 'splash damage area' in front of it, would be set up like this. Just make it shoots like 30 projectiles instead of 1. Then set the max spread to like 10, so it REALLY spreads them out, like a really horrible shotgun.

Sort of like a Tau burst cannon from 40k, right? if i can't get this to work, i might just do that instead (Plasma rain, anyone?)
