Beams Weapons

Yes, this has been done to death, sorry. Yes, I should have posted in the editing forum, but I keep on getting an error message when I try to view it.

My question is this:

How can I create beam weapons like the hellfury(?) in Rebalance 3.3?

The tutorials give instructions on how to make beams, but they don't "track" you can see each individual shot. The weapons in RB3.3 look more like 'real' beams than anything I've seen so far.

So, can somebody help me?

Aren't they just super-fast projectiles with an awesomely high refire rate?
The speed of the projectiles is what can cause the negative graphical effect you're describing.

haven't seem rebals beam weapons - but i made my beams have long long beam length, high refire rate - so they "mold" into one "beam" when you shoot for s sec or two.
