Title: Bobboau, I need your help on this one
Post by: Raven2001 on July 17, 2001, 04:10:00 pm

1: In the beams .tbl entry, what is the zadd section for???
2: Remember your Aurora weapons pack?? How did you make that wonderful effect for the Pirate slash??(that effect of the beam being broken apart from the real line... something like an energy bolt, only red)

thx

finaly someone notesed that, it was actualy an intentional rendering error, produced from a high Zadd and\or a weird sized map.

and the zadd is "Z add" or how much the section of the beam is moved in the Z direction relitive to your ship and along it's eye point's normal.
basicly the smaller the beam section the higher the Zadd (or is that the other way around) "should" be, but I broke that rule a few times.

So that means that I can get that effect by adding a big zadd in the .tbl entry... right??
