Mod Behavior

The mod locks in selected units and active command on keypress. Memory does not reset until the cycle completes - if you misclick at the start, keep tapping Quick Group Scatter until the audio cue plays.

Continuous Group Scatter

Works similarly to Quick Group Scatter, but cycling to the next structure in the list requires pressing the keybind again.
