Simple question [laser beam projectile]

[lukas2288]

Is it possible made in gzdoom laser beam projectile?If yes is there some sample code?

[Blue Shadow]

If I recall correctly, this weapon is supposed to be a beam-based weapon.

That's just a series of high-speed projectiles. The laser beam weapons I made use continuous rail attacks. It's not perfect, but...

Well, he did say "laser beam projectile"... really, without further details (e.g. "like they shoot in Star Wars") I don't think it's clear whether a projectile, a fastprojectile, a rail or just a plain old hitscan would work the best.

I've updated your thread title to be much more descriptive.

Good point. I guess what I meant was that the weapon linked above uses projectiles (in the ZDoom-technical definition), and they don't really work as what I picture to be a continuous beam. Taking 'laser' more literally (and yes, I may be assuming too much), I figured a continuous beam would fit the bill better, and to the best of my knowledge, the closest approximation available would be made with rail attacks.

i´m sorry that i didn´t write more details in my first post.i meant laser effect like this one for example
