Created page with "A beam with a sprite at the end. It appears to be completely useless since it's only visible for a single frame and there is no way to increase its life time. Please, someone..."

New page

A beam with a sprite at the end.

It appears to be completely useless since it's only visible for a single frame and there is no way to increase its life time. Please, someone correct me if I'm wrong.
