The client's TacArcBehavior::Cast (0x00fb2d10) sorts the targets in the arc nearest first, or by weight when
distance_weight or angle_weight is set (sortWithWeights, 0x00f58cd0: distance_weight * (max range - distance) /
max range + angle_weight * (180 - angle) / 180, heaviest first). With use_attack_priority, SortByAttackPriority
(0x00f72900) then buckets them by GetAttackPriority, lowest first, keeping that order inside each bucket; only the
DestroyableComponent answers it, and an object without one counts as 1. DoHit keeps the first max targets.
Nothing else ranks targets: enemies are taken over nearer smashables only because their attack_priority (1) is
lower than most smashables' (10). use_attack_priority is off when a behavior does not set it (TacArcBehavior::
Initialize, 0x00f9b980), as before.
The server sorted by distance only and ignored the flag, so a one-target swing hit the nearest crate instead of the
enemy behind it. OrderTargets now does the client's ordering, with equal targets in ascending id order (the order
the client's id set hands them over in); the chosen targets are still written in ascending id order (issue 1045).

The client's TacArcBehavior::DoHit (0x00fb10c0) writes the closest max-targets ids from a set, so ascending and
each once, then the action data per id in that same order; DoUnserializeBS (0x00fb26a0) reads them the same way and
skips empty ids. The server handled the targets in list order and skipped ids whose object it could not find
without reading their action data, so every later target read the wrong bits (several pirates under a Doom Slicer).
Handle now reads the action for every listed id in ascending order, and the server's own casts write ids and actions
in ascending order after picking the closest targets.
TacArcBehavior::Cast (0x00fb2d10): a picked target that passes the filter gets the action with no TacArc data (the
server's own cast now calculates that action instead of handling it); otherwise the target is dropped, and an arc
measured from the target's position writes nothing.
Check in game: Doom Slicer and multi-target katanas on groups of pirates/admirals damage each of them; apes still
take damage during their stun; enemies with arc attacks (apes, Maelstrom horsemen) still hit players.
