I know we have already an Target-Queuing for specific enemy-units: The own unit will kill this unit, until its death and go on with next set Target-Unit.

But whats about Point-Target-Queuing?
If you have for example a Bertha or Starlight it would be most useful:
At time these units would fire the whole time on one Point-Target, without switching to the next point in the Queue.

It would be much more handy if these Points just got attacked one time (Bertha,Stinger...)or 1/2 Seconds (Starlight/Stardust...) until the unit is switching to the next target.

ps: in general useful for artillery units

Not sure if I understood you correct. You want to be able to order artillery to fire one shot at a target location?

If so, I suggested some months ago that holding Q while giving an attack order queues a single shot (very useful for Merl!). It's still needed! :)

What would this mean for multiweapon units?
The starlight has the hole puncher and the regular thinner beam.
Then there's detri and bantha and folks.
And what about accuracy? Tremor firing one shot that hits or just one shot in the general direction?

For multiweapon units this should probably mean "next shot of any weapon".

Just one shot in the general direction, obviously. "one shot that hits" would be too open for interpretation.

what about a widget? could let you control how much time / how many shots each attack order takes.

The engine used to have the following behaviour:

When the weapon is fired
If Command#1

Attack ground AND Command#2

Attack ground THEN remove Command#1

This implements what you want but at some point the behaviour was lost. There were some commandfire bugs in 91.0 so maybe the behaviour will come back soon. I am unsure if I should mantis this or just recreate the behaviour in lua. I lean towards the latter because then there are less special cases in the engine. It would be even better if someone else luaed it.
