Beams appearing when smoke goes through it

Once again,
I’m trying to come up with a realistic solution for beams on roblox in terms of lighting and festivals.

Refer to this part of the video below, timestamp is in the link.
DO NOT WATCH THIS IF YOU’RE EPILEPTIC

If you look at the white beams, you can see them only appear when smoke/haze goes through, ignore the different camera switches.

Would this be possible to do in Roblox or does this require some revolutionary volumetric lighting that needs to be implemented into the Roblox Engine?

Thanks.

You could use billboard guis for this.

Heres an example of lighting using billboard guis:

if you need shadows(high quality ones) you should use billboard GUI, but if you just want the beam effect you could use particle emitters with light influence set to .5 or higher
