Hello.
To your knowledge, is there a tuto somewhere on how to easily create fire laser beams whose source is a spaceship and a gun ?
Thx

Not a tutorial, but an idea...

• Just a brightly colored, long and slender CYLINDER primitive.
• Add a GLOW MAP so it "lights up."
• Turn VISIBILITY On and Off as-needed

Maybe someone who has made a space battle will chime in with other ideas.

For a single gun scene I would probably do as Viking suggested. Another option is to use particle effects.

I see RL has a single emitter available on the marketplace (100 points) while biggstrek has multiple laser partical emitter available for free.

There are other options available as well. Just search for laser or beam.

I have a spaceship Publisher shoot two lasers. A right and a left. I used the laser "Laser Beam_02" available in the pack "SFX-Warfare" on each side of my spaceship.

I clicked on the right laser and I chose the option "perfom on "and the animation begins and ends after 5 seconds. I copy and paste the right laser using the CTRL key to create the left and I place it in the right place. So far, so good.

When I click on the "perform on" option on the left laser, animation begins. But this time, the animation ends only if I press the "space key". Also, if i compare the animation of the left laser with the right laser left, they are both different.
