TE_LIGHTNING

Appears to be a simpler version of TE_BEAMPOINTS (fewer parameters). I can't get it to work.

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Vector	start	Starting position of the beam
Vector	end	End position of the beam
string	sprite	Sprite used to display the beam
uint8	life	How long to display the beam (seconds * 0.1)
uint8	width	Width of the beam (units * 0.1)
uint8	noise	Noise amplitude (units * 0.1)

API Function

No API function exists as of SC 5.02

NetworkMessage Function

void te_lightning(Vector start, Vector end, 
    string sprite="sprites/laserbeam.spr", int life=10, int width=32, 
    int noise=1, 
    NetworkMessageDest msgType=MSG_BROADCAST, edict_t@ dest=null)
{
    NetworkMessage m(msgType, NetworkMessages::SVC_TEMPENTITY, dest);
    m.WriteByte(TE_LIGHTNING);
    m.WriteCoord(start.x);
    m.WriteCoord(start.y);
    m.WriteCoord(start.z);
    m.WriteCoord(end.x);
    m.WriteCoord(end.y);
    m.WriteCoord(end.z);
    m.WriteByte(life);
    m.WriteByte(width);
    m.WriteByte(noise);
    m.WriteShort(g_EngineFuncs.ModelIndex(sprite));
    m.End();
