| Is it Possible to create a solid laser for a Weapon? |
| (1/2) > >> |
| SilentNinja45:
I am currently working on a few mechs, and I would like to have solid lasers ingame. Typical BL weapons such as Ladio's Laser Weapon set have a beam that is made up of 5-8 Dots Ex: - - - - - I want this: ______ The Stable paint can has the effect that I want, but I dont want people to lag like stuff if the lasers are fired. Halp? |

Xalos was trying something out like this during the Alpha stage of our TOS Phaser mod. unfortunately, true beam effects are impossible, and the closest thing you can have to that is about 8 dots equally spaced apart between the gun and the hit point, which looks really crappy. xalos explained that having anymore starts to lag really bad and constantly makes the game say "ghosting" |

The only way to do this is via static shapes, however it won't look as pretty. |

I haven't worked much with static shapes; are they controllably tiltable? |
