ArrowBeams, simple solution to creating objective arrows

ArrowBeams is an open-source Module I’ve created which simplifies the process of creating Beams that point the players to their objectives.

This Module utilizes Roblox’s Beams.

Use example:

local ArrowBeams = require(script:WaitForChild("ArrowBeams"))
local Beam = ArrowBeams.new(Character.HumanoidRootPart) -- You can provide a second argument ArrowBeams.new(Character.HumanoidRootPart, {Segments = 15}) to set your own properties. 

Beam:setTarget(Vector3.new(50,10,0))
Beam:Enable()
