* Vector pos Center point of the cylinder
* float radius Max radius of the cylinder
* string sprite Sprite used to draw the beam
* uint8 startFrame Starting frame for the beam sprite
* uint8 frameRate Frame rate of the beam sprite (FPS * 0.1) (has no effect)
* uint8 life Time to display the beam (seconds * 0.1)
* uint8 width Width of the beam / height of the cylinder
* uint8 noise Noise amplitude of the beam (units * 0.1) (has no effect)
* RGBA c Color of the beam sprite
* uint8 scrollSpeed Scroll speed of the beam sprite (has no effect)
