Simpler version of [[TE_BEAMPOINTS]] (fewer parameters).

Note: Implementation of this effect seems to be bit buggy. The effect may not work immediately and some of its properties are affected by other temporary effects. (Try firing gauss gun, hornet gun or displacer, and then create the effect. You will see what I mean...) Use TE_BEAMPOINTS instead.
