Serial Selection Mode

Overview

Serial selection mode is a simple technique based on storing multiple objects in a row. When activated, if a user selects an object, it will be added to a list of stored objects (a simple array suffices). This allows them to collect as many objects from the scene as they want. To clear the list the user needs to make an invalid selection such as pulling the trigger when hovering over nothing.
