    I've made PHOT and BRAY lasers before, but I don't know how to make PHOT lazers accurate. Can someone give me tips on how to make accurate PHOT Lasers? Please?

    First, use pcln instead of clne, as pcln creates 8 directions of phot every frame.

     

    Second, use void to delete the photons in the 7 unwanted directions.

     

    This is what it should look like:

     

      O

    VVV

      PV

    VVV

      N

     

    Where o is pscn, v is void, p is pcln, and n is nscn. The laser will fire left.

    To create high-density lasers, make the PCLN/PBCN into this shape:


    P PP

     

    leaving a gapbetween two of them.

    Don't use walls or ewalls. Photon Lasers are best when they are 1 pixel thick.

    And, if you're ambitious, either:
    (1) add a crapton of PCLN to make it super compressed or

    (2) use fancy mirror magic to make heated super-compressed lasers.

    Heat up the beams with Maze or uranium+pump.... Works great forget the compressed stuff
