True laser?

Thu Feb 02, 2006 7:56 pm by Darth-Vader

Hi;

I need help on creating true lasers that dont look like bullets but a beam. I want this because I want the new factions battleships to have 2 Primary laser cannon but I cant figure it out on how to make a laser. Its kinda like beam wepon mod but insted of stooting millions of bullets I want it to fire 1 a long one that will look like a laser.

I know how to create wepons but I cant figure out how to create lasers.

P.S. I used the serch forums and could not find it.

i'm no big modder but to stop all the millions of rays you could make it like a missile that it only shoots 1 shot and then it waits for you to click again after the recharge time. and just change the missile to be a beam that lasts for a while. well, that's how i see it. got no idea if itll work but hope it helps!

Jesus is the answer!

Here the question arises what you think of as a "true laser".

A real laser would not be visible in space, unless you looked directly into the ray, which of course would be unhealthy.
But I think what you ment is not a "real laser" but a beam weapon, which is probably as close as one can get to realistic lasers in a scifi game without making weapon effects redundant.

I believe a beam weapon mod comes with the FLMM. You could analyse that one.

thats the one he dont want it to be like, I suggest an extremely fast missile with an extremely long trail, make the missile invisible and the trail look ike a laser, viola.

You might want to check out either the Freeworlds or ToW mods as both of these use that sort of beam effect you are looking for to represent Star War like Laser Bolts.

Yea I want it to be seen but make it a non missale but a gun like the death star when it fires its only 1 shot a realy long shot that keeps on doing dammadge until ur fire time runs out. So its like a varry long bullet that keeps on doing dammadge until time runs out.

Have you tried to make a gun with a REALLY high refire rate and a REALLY long trail?

I'm not sure if thats the effect you want but its a suggestion

you're looking for beam_effects.ini - this is where laser beam/bolt length/shape/color is controlled, by extending the tail you can make your laser as long as you want, cheers
