Beam Effect is Live!

Lovely!! Been waiting for a feature like this for such a long time!

Finally! I can’t wait to start making particles in my game’s market using this new particle type.

(Beam me up scotty!)

I made a beam of water

Im trying to make a boat’s wake

I’ve finally made the cape object of my dreams (please-a no steal-a)! It’s only static at the moment though, the only actual bonus it has is the subtle curve. Anyone wanna help me come up with a method to animate it? I’ve tried constraint physics already and they look way too messy. I’d try Humanoid animations with a special cape part but I’m too busy at the moment.

Also hoping that Beams get a LightInfluence parameter in the future.

I’m pretty sure you could animate it easily by lerping the bottom bit of the cape.

You can sort of make cloth with it

adding some rotation to the bottom part to complement its movement may also help give the effect

Here’s a cool concept using the new Beam Effect. Scrolling text. It’s probably a trivial thing to do with it, but I found it pretty cool. Take a look,

I was trying to figure out the colors on the rainbow beam in this picture were not moving; it turns out that the color effect on beams changes the color 3 of the texture, but the color value doesnt indicate a moving color sequence on the beam. Maybe beams should come with a default texture so this is less confusing

Sweet, I guess I’ll try find a use for this.

I can confirm your doing it right.
