Hi, im making a game that's in the style of robotron if anyone has played it... and have been working on it for alittle while now.. (JUST started to use dark basic) and have it set up so its mouse aim and a wierd movement(arrow keys"will switch to wasd soon"), but what im really wondering is how would I go about making a bullet trail or laser effect " a line to the distance sortof thing"? I have a limb set up for the distance and collision detection (im going to use limb intersect) and want it so its mouseclick like if mouseclick then draw the line from the player to the limb object... sorry if this is confusing, im guessing it has something to do with the particles system but I have no idea... how to use that... and the line command is only x ,y plane?
Im going to attach the source code though oh and if anyone wants to use it they can... not much of anything though wouldnt see why..
