How do you do a death ray type of effect? I don't mean the kind donkey show used in his mecha level, but the kind you encounter when fighting Metal Gear Rex. I've been trying for a while and can't get it. Help is appreciated. Oh, and it's killing me inside to ask for help. I can feel it eating me.

That's basically a bunch of spotlights connected to a material (preferably round). They have wobble bolts on them set to directional in order to provide that awesome effect before the "laser" solidifies. Once all the lights are lined up, an emitter (via a timed piston with magnetic keys) shoots a gang load of bombs at a high linear velocity.

Do you know how to do the death ray effect like Luckett_X did? I don't think his was bombs.

I didn't exactly follow, but then I went and played the level and now I understand. At least I think I do. Now to go test it out.

Do you know how to do the death ray effect like Luckett_X did? I don't think his was bombs. It wasn't. It's material connected to a spotlight. That material is changed to gas and the spotlight is emitted with a very short lifespan. In this video of mine, you can see the "death ray" getting emitted @ 8:10 which happens to be the object I mentioned above. It's the same exact process as Luckett_X's. Lp1jtfD4tKA (yeah, yeah shameless plug) The good thing about the MGS Rex death ray is that it looks freaking awesome. The bad thing about it is that not only does it need way more fine tuning, but it will eat up at the thermometer more so than the other death ray. I didn't exactly follow, but then I went and played the level and now I understand. At least I think I do. Now to go test it out. Good deal and good luck!

I have plenty of thermometer. I'm doing a boss level so I don't really have to worry about the thermometer much.
