(Weapon) Lightsaber
Reactor Worker:
Before you mention, Yes, I know there is already a lightsaber weapon available at this thread. http://www.blockland.us/smf/index.php?topic=15411.0
My suggestion is this.
Instead of making the blade as part of the model (as is the one mentioned above), why not just model the handle and have the 'light' bit be made of a single emitter? Similiar to the emitter of the laser it could come in different colors (red, blue, green) and I suppose you could model different handles.
Another bonus of my idea is that perhaps you could add in an on/off feature so the emitter could be disabled with a key press further adding to the realism.
Thats my idea. Any comments? Additions? Reasons why this wouldn't work?

Emitters cause lag to some people.
Ladios:
and unless you have it shoot the particle really fast and rapid and have the particle dissappear almsot the instant it is shot the lighsabe would drag 10 feet behind you
Reactor Worker:
Well, I have never had a problem with emitter lag, but you may have a point when it comes to large builds or many people (lol, as if that will ever happen).
As for the blade lagging behind the player, you answered it yourself.

Can anyone make this please? Even if its just as an experiment.
