General Questions about Beams

Hello, I have a question about beams, since its the only thing that can help me achieve the desired effect for the game I am working on.

I’m still learning how to properly use beams but the desired effect is promising so far.

Is there any way to have a beam texture fade out towards the end?

And also is there a way to make a beam curve in a desire path, similarly to a bezier curve line?

Any help will be appreciated.

The link on beam fade out does not work, I get a 403 error. Fact all 3 links seem to be glitching.

Keep refreshing the pages, the Wiki’s just a tad uncooperative.

Won’t Trails be better for this?

I imagine the boat is stationary, so this effect would make it look as if it is moving.

I think what he’s getting at is that it would move, otherwise I doubt he’d ask for help with something to make it look as if it was moving.

The ship is stationary, it is a game map. Which is why I am using Beams.
