Laser shooting photons at odd angles

  • meepofdoom     25th Jun 2015 Member 0 Permalink

    For some reason sometimes when I make lasers, photon will shoot out at odd angles. Why does this happen and how can I fix this? Here is an example of when it happens : https://powdertoy.co.uk/Browse/View.html?ID=1814533 and I managed to fix it by placing some void near the end like in this save: https://powdertoy.co.uk/Browse/View.html?ID=1814519. But in other lasers I've tried, void doesn't always work.

    You should in general make the void about 3 pixels thick to avoid the problem. Basically it has to do with the speed of phot.

    You need to cover the photon spawner thing with something that isn't breakable. 3 or 2 will do the trick.
