i'd make tracers like the the veteran units get. forget about the ingame lasers, they are a bitch to code

[Boomerang_Python]

maybe the starwars mod has got some lasers ill ask em some time..


Botjer if u know how to make the tracers look like lasers can you show how to??

My god, there's been atleast 10 other posts exactly like this. Did you even read the all caps FORUM GROUND RULES at the top of the page? Have you even looked at the ini's for more than half an hour?

OuterBeamWidth = 2 ;The total width of beam
