I indeed like this
summer tree
I hope I have time to make it more efficient, right now creating a new meshobject every frame instead of just modifying vertices seems a bit janky to me

what about a lazer that fires lazers
woeful nymph
Imagine a lazer grenade instead of shrapnel it’s lasers 🤓

omg game master fx but orbital laser cannon strike

star wars mod soon 😂😂
summer tree
gpu particles are a thing?
no they are cpu particles, the laser is a plane with a gradient texture
summer tree
@severe fossil depending on how efficient this is it might be possible to use it to create IR lasers
my initial thought is that this is very inefficient but if it becomes efficient then we'll see

Proc anim would work. Just move the far vertices causing your mesh to stretch. Might also look shitty..would have to test

the mesh is created at runtime, but using a plane with bones for it does seem interesting
summer tree
no fps drop is interesting
woeful nymph
no fps drop is interesting
Can you make it girthy 😈
slate wind
woeful nymph
Wonder if it could be used for like a placeable trip wire
frozen swan
no fps drop is interesting
Is that as an imported model?
summer tree
Is that as an imported model?
no, I'm creating it on runtime every frame
frozen swan
Oh I thought maybe you tried with an imported model for that one
I'll make it and set up anim when I get home
summer tree
I think an imported model would be more efficient that's why I'm surprised this is so light
frozen swan
@summer tree how are the uvs? Top forward?
summer tree
just two triangles filling up the entire uv tile
like you'd have a triangulated quad

back in A3 long objects would not render if their origin was too far from view. I wonder if this would also be issue in reforger. Keen to see how this works in longer ranges
as in laser object that was animated to be 2km long for example
summer tree
lets find out
rapid zodiac
from first person it worked but somewhere in the middle looking sideways at it, it disappeared in certain angles and distances
summer tree
from first person it worked but somewhere in the middle looking sideways at it, ...
seems to be ok
rapid zodiac
👍
summer tree
doesnt even cull when origin is behind me
rapid zodiac
how far away are you from it?
summer tree
idk like 200
summer tree
sure
rapid zodiac
II suppose view distance is the next challenge
since if you got 1000m object draw distance and someone else 500m then you can snipe them with invisible laser for 500m
😅
summer tree
so orbital ion cannons will work

damage works now
summer tree
wider beams are not that good to look at up close
perhaps I'll switch flat plane in with a cylinder and make the beam texture repeat
for the prettier ones, while using flat plane for simple ones
I think Destiny uses cylinders for this
woeful nymph
Yess
rapid zodiac
@summer tree looks great! Definitely opens up easier options to do scifi things! 👍
summer tree
beams are cool, next step is a variation of the beam that is constant instead of oneshot
but not sure if I'm going to bother trying to do it
summer tree
this as a weapon is also extremely unfun to use in multiplayer because you need to shoot air in front of people to damage them, so it takes the fun out of beam weapons pretty quickly
at least it looks cool
woeful nymph
What do you mean shoot in front of them?
summer tree
you need to hit people where they are on the server to damage them
woeful nymph
I see… damn that’s annoying
summer tree
the higher your ping is the more you have to lead your targets, eg. when I play from europe on US servers I need to shoot air in front of people for my bullets to connect to them on the server
if I fire at the position the players are on my screen then by the time the server registers the bullets they are not there already
glossy oasis
why is that? is the laz0r too slow?
woeful nymph
My thoughts
summer tree
I am describing how projectiles work in arma reforger
the laser is not a projectile but the same thing applies
that enemy I'm firing at will be somewhere else on the server
woeful nymph
Damn that’s so weird wish it would work like normal bullets but oh well
summer tree
even being 5 inches to the left already makes your headshots invalid
what do you mean normal bullets?
woeful nymph
Like how the game normally plays I don’t need to aim at the air in front of them
summer tree
this is how the game normally plays
woeful nymph
It is? I’ve never had a problem like that weird
summer tree
if your bullets connect reliably when firing at someone on your monitor it means your ping is low enough for you not to notice
woeful nymph
Probably no idea
summer tree
this is 100% how the game works, server is in charge of damage so you need to connect your bullets on server
woeful nymph
At least you actually managed to do the whole lazer bullet thing haha
summer tree
it's not a bullet but it doesn't matter
woeful nymph
Yes
summer tree
I don't have a use for this yet mostly I just did it because I could
woeful nymph
Yeah looks fun
frozen swan
Bank robbing mod, with laser beams when?

What in the Star Wars is going on here

these are not the lasers you're looking for

All I wanna see is one lil lazer gun 🥹

@summer tree Is the lasers bullets have a mod?

no

Ok
glossy oasis
Yo
opal skiff
Plz make this a mod @summer tree
summer tree
nah
glossy oasis
Lmao
summer tree
this could be used for something like IR lasers but I have no time for this
