So I am a seasoned programmer in other regards, but new to the whole Galaxy/SC2 editor thing. I see that Galaxy is pretty powerful, but is it powerful enough to create a whole new genre of game? i had a mod idea but I would hate to sink hundreds of hours into it to only find out that a very crucial component is not possible, best i can figure everything else I need is.
Basically if you are controlling a single actor is it possible to make it so that you can manually aim your weapon like you would in a First Person Shooter via the mouse? Is there any form of Raycasting that we can access through the Galaxy editor? I searched the forums but didnt find anything ( though that dosent mean that its not there just that i suck at searching )

There's maps emulating first person shooters. Some quick-search examples:
You have tutorials in the forum, too (just search "first person shooter").
I suspect what you want is to aim in a third person shooter style, but the basics should be pretty much the same for both ;).
