WeaponArcs is fantastic, but what about WeaponLines, WeaponCubes, & WeaponCylinders?

Pretty much what the title says. I'm curious if it is possible to modify  The Aaron 's fantastic WeaponArcs script to include Lines, Cubes, and/or Cylinders. This would round out all of the spell shapes offered in 5e D&D. WeaponLines: I realize you can mimic the effect of a line using the WeaponArcs function by making the angle less than 5 degrees, but the result is a thin  line. Ideally, the script would make it possible to have a straight line # (e.g., 5, 10, 15) units wide. This would be useful for a number of attacks (e.g., a blue dragonborn's breath attack in 5e D&D). WeaponCubes: Similar to how you can use the WeaponsArcs script to create a full sphere around you by making the angle 360 degrees, I would like to see a similar effect but in the shape of a square/rectangle. This would be useful for the occasional effect/attack (e.g., a door falling, the thunderwave spell in 5e D&D). WeaponCylinders: This would be the combination of the WeaponArcs with the WeaponLines, but honestly, I am not sure how useful it would be in a two-dimension game. I merely included it to complete all of the spell shapes offered in 5e D&D. Thank you for your time and  The Aaron  time for creating such a wonderful Script in the first place.

It's definitely possible. Lines, squares, and circles are pretty easy to draw with the drawing tools, but I suppose they don't have the transparency and ease as from this script. Stephen S made a pretty nifty areas of effect Script a few years ago that you might like:&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/2331639/" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/2331639/</a> Maybe I should polish that up with the things I've learned from this one. =D
