TE_BEAMDISK

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

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Vector	pos	Center point of the disk
float	radius	Max radius of the disk
const char*	sprite	Sprite used to cover the disk
uint8_t	startFrame	Starting frame for the disk sprite
uint8_t	frameRate	Frame rate of the disk sprite (FPS * 0.1) **(has no effect)**
uint8_t	life	Time to display the disk (seconds * 0.1)
RGBA	c	RGBA of the disk sprite
uint8_t	scrollSpeed	If set to 10 or greater, the disk starts out fully stretched to infinity and appears to rotate. Values < 10 have no effect.

Example Usage

void te_beamdisk(Vector pos, float radius, 
    const char* sprite="sprites/laserbeam.spr", uint8_t startFrame=0, 
    uint8_t frameRate=16, uint8_t life=8, RGBA c=PURPLE, uint8_t scrollSpeed=0, 
    int msgType=MSG_BROADCAST, edict_t* dest=NULL)
{
    MESSAGE_BEGIN(msgType, SVC_TEMPENTITY, dest);
    WRITE_BYTE(TE_BEAMDISK);
    WRITE_COORD(pos.x);
    WRITE_COORD(pos.y);
    WRITE_COORD(pos.z);
    WRITE_COORD(pos.x);
    WRITE_COORD(pos.y);
    WRITE_COORD(pos.z + radius);
    WRITE_SHORT(MODEL_INDEX(sprite));
    WRITE_BYTE(startFrame);
    WRITE_BYTE(frameRate);
    WRITE_BYTE(life);
    WRITE_BYTE(1); // "width" - has no effect
    WRITE_BYTE(0); // "noise" - has no effect
    WRITE_BYTE(c.r);
    WRITE_BYTE(c.g);
    WRITE_BYTE(c.b);
    WRITE_BYTE(c.a);
    WRITE_BYTE(scrollSpeed);
    MESSAGE_END();
