Lasers and beams. Created 20 years ago2004-04-24 10:06:18 UTC by Neo-TheOne

Just asking how long would they take to make? If u have seen the Usher video (Yeah . ft ludacrisand lil jon , its those green beams/lasers) How long approx. would they take to make and are they hard? Im posting here to see if i should start em or not.

They are easy! Put the laser origin as the beam or laser entity, set the target as whatever you want it to hit. Also, if you made a trigger you could make it change target. Simple.

So should i use the tutorial? The one in here TWHL ? and how long approx. will it take me? The lasers are for a filming map. So CT's and T's both can run through them and dont get damaged by them.

any1?

Putting a laser in your map and getting it set up shouldn't take more than 10 minutes. That is, once you know what you're doing. The Laser beam and effects tutorial here at TWHL is a good one. I used it to learn about lasers before winning the Laser Fun competition.

Ok i get the jist of it but has any1 actually seen the music video Yeah by Usher ft. Ludacris and Lil JOn. The beams/lasers flash every beat and kin of spin around. Does this make it very complicated ??

I haven't seen it. But you can make lasers flash on and off and you can make them move. So I guess you could make them spin too. It's tough to tell how long it would take, it depends on the skill of the mapper. Plan it on paper first so you can plot and name all your points before you even get started.
