TE BEAMDISK

An additive sprite disk that expands over time. The orientation of the disk can't be changed.

	string sprite="sprites/laserbeam.spr", uint8 startFrame=0, 
	uint8 frameRate=16, uint8 life=8, RGBA c=RGBA_PURPLE, uint8 scrollSpeed=0,

}

• Vector pos Center point of the disk
• float radius Max radius of the disk
• string sprite Sprite used to cover the disk
• uint8 startFrame Starting frame for the disk sprite
• uint8 frameRate Frame rate of the disk sprite (FPS * 0.1) (has no effect)
• uint8 life Time to display the disk (seconds * 0.1)
• RGBA c Color of the disk sprite
• uint8 scrollSpeed If set to 10 or greater, the disk starts out fully stretched to infinity and appears to rotate.
• Values < 10 have no effect.
