TE_BEAMCYLINDER

A ring-shaped beam that expands over time. The orientation of the cylinder can't be changed.

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Vector	pos	Center point of the cylinder
float	radius	Max radius of the cylinder
const char*	sprite	Sprite used to draw the beam
uint8_t	startFrame	Starting frame for the beam sprite
uint8_t	frameRate	Frame rate of the beam sprite (FPS * 0.1) **(has no effect)**
uint8_t	life	Time to display the beam (seconds * 0.1)
uint8_t	width	Width of the beam / height of the cylinder
uint8_t	noise	Noise amplitude of the beam (units * 0.1) **(has no effect)**
RGBA	c	RGBA of the beam sprite
uint8_t	scrollSpeed	Scroll speed of the beam sprite **(has no effect)**
