Just change the beam warmup texture.

That won't work, it'd grow and shrink and it'd look funny.

trigger the invisible, uncollideable second beam weapons a predefined amount of time after the first beam weapons fire, with a zero warmup time?  So the warmup glow appears at the invisible uncollideable second beam weapon anchored out in space at the time calculated for the first beams to hit it?  And ofc the run time for the beams would need to be adjusted to quit at the same time.
