hmmm...I am wondering...would these entries

Code: [Select]
$Trail: ;; Trail cannot be set if Exhaust is set
+Start Width: 0.1 ;; Width of trail nearest missile
+End Width: 0.2 ;; Width of trail before it "evaporates"
+Start Alpha: 1.0
+End Alpha: 0.0
+Max Life: 0.3 ;; how many seconds before trail disappears
+Bitmap: newmiss2 ;; Bitmap used to draw trail

make it possible to create a missile which trail does not dissapear until the missile either destructs or hit's a target, making it look like some weird laser?

That could make it possible to create some weird looking laser-effects with the right trail texture?

to be more precise, I saw a pic just recent, CRAFT where though...it looked like some sort of pearly colored energy ball firing it's weapon, and the lasertrail was all warped and bending...

Umm... I THINK so. I know you can define the length of time that the trail will stay alive with missiles, so it'd have to be a secondary, not a primary.
If it aint broke, break it!

Have you ever played FS1? Remember the Lucifer laser? It was a primary weapon...

That's just a laser with a trail, and a long lifetime on it... there are plenty of MODs with that.

not sure if you are referring to my question on the subject, but mine questioned the possibility to make a missiletrail 'look' like it's a laser by extending the lifetime of the trail...
