I am still not exactly sure what it is you want to do. weapon-create is used to create single instances of weapons that fly around in the mission space, like missiles that come out of nowhere, single primary shots, that kind of thing.

That mission you posted is empty, there are no events there, no hint of what you were trying to do.

I am trying to make it look like a beam is coming from the planet

[The E]

Right. The problem is that beams cannot be created through weapon-create. You would need to put a turret with a beam weapon where you want the beam to originate, and then use fire-beam.

Thaks sorry about not being clear

[General Battuta]

Put an invisible sentry gun or ship with a beam turret where you want the beam to come from, and use fire-beam.
