Hello everyone,
To those who are experienced with the source code, I am wondering how the laser was done for the Subach HL-7 weapon. I have noticed that it is drawn using the function g3_draw_laser() which is located inside the file: 3dlaser.cpp under "render". However, I wasn't able to understand the code. Can anyone kindly explain the code or the technique used? The basic idea that I have is that the laser itself uses a texture "newglo9.pcx" " and a glow effect is put on it (using the file: "2_laserglow03.pcx")
But what I don't understand is how are they able to make a rectangular texture like it occupies a volume. That is, if the texture was viewed from the edge, one doesn't see a line, but sees a 3d laser (as the file name is called). I am wondering how that was done.
Thanks for the help in advance.
