Post subject:  Bouncing Lightning Demo

I don't know if anyone's tried making bouncing lightning such as this before, but the effect is interesting. Especially when done in long streams (looks like a bouncing urine stream).

http://www.shambels.com/other/rico.zip

rico.dem is the test version, rice2.dem is a more controlled version with limitation. The code is based on my ricochet rune. It runs on a Think at 0.1 seconds recording it's last position using the pos1 feild and generating lightning at it's current location to pos1.

Aye, your server is using this very code I wrote :wink: and it was most likely me killing you with it. :twisted:

Something more challenging is to make bouncing lightning not affected by gravity. Sorta like on zop's mod. I'm pretty sure there's some easy way such as a global, "trace_XXX", from a traceline test you can use.

I made some lightning arch up and down in one version (while being shot normally). The end of it would sway around at random like a long tounge. I don't know what happened to that code I think I removed it because I was just screwing around.
