I got the laser dot to stop on surfaces and fastloop properly etc. Now I'm looking for a good way to draw a line between my character and the pointer. The Drawline extension seems to have .... problems. Any suggestions? Zi-Xiao n/a

I've never tried, so don't blame me if it goes strange. Edit: I just tried it, and it seems to work. If it's a 1px red dot, then 400.0 scaling is 400px, etcetera. Edited by the Author. n/a

I used a 1x1 red dot bitmap, which was then scaled according to the distance and rotated according to the angle between the two points. A semitransparent ink setting completes the effect. I'll look around and see if I can find it later. [ http://www.sozomai.net ]
