The in-game GUI allows you to cycle between units with the arrow buttons, and centre the camera on the current unit by clicking on its name. The single arrow buttons switch to the next unit, whereas the double arrows switch to the next unit and remove the current unit from the cycle. Available weapon firemodes will appear on this GUI depending on the equipped weapon of the selected unit. Clicking on one of these firemode buttons starts aiming mode. The inventory button opens the currently selected unit's inventory, with the grid at the bottom being the items on the floor.
