is there a way to make a laser scope like a laser pointer with the flashlight?? how would i go about doing this? it would require making the flashight really thin, changing the color, and making it appear rarther/brighter...

I don't think you can do it... [ligh] (Light) tags is only the light shining on the surface of an object, so you can't see the trail of the laser.

You'd have to make a model, and skin that one part of the gun red and make it long.

That would probably be easiest way.
Someone did this already I think, L33T, wasn't it you?

Get a laser pointer. Turn it on. Can you see the beam?

No...

Only if it goes through dust particles, and then you see the beam because the laser bounces off the particles. (Don't argue with my Year 10 advanced physics, and I go to a selective school so regular comprehensive schools probably learn this shit in year 11 or 12.)

I have a laser pointer, the dot is the only thing you can see. so yes, his idea is a good one.

As if regular schools don't get that... I got that in my first year on high school >_>

Besides, it does ruin the effect of the particles and dust - see the beam thing.

And that would just be stupid, because if you want the gun to have a Collision Model, the whole gun would have to have one, which includes the beam. Since it would have a collision model, you would be able to hit people with this beam, and it would be a solid object even when it hasn't been picked up yet.

When you remodel something, it doesn't create a new collision. =\

Well, If you were standing at one end of bloodgulch, and aiming at the other side, do you think you could see that little red dot?

can you create a new collision model for something?

wait, i tried editing the [ligh] tag for the flashlight to do the same thing, but it didn't work, it only made the area where the flashlight is at on mc's helmet red as opposed to making a red dot....

That is why the dot is usually about 2 1/2" diameter at 25 yards. The dot is huge at close range, so yes, you should just be able to see it from that distance.

Besides, most laser sights aren't meant to be used at ranges like 600ft...

Meh. Well, making a laser in the models is alot easier than your way.

Well it would be cool though.I try it for CE.Well the laser shouldn't has a collision
