Description
A customizable weapon laser/beam system that adds a more realistic visible laser to supported weapons.
The beam originates from the weapon’s actual muzzle, follows your weapon/aim direction, reacts to surfaces, and creates a visible laser dot with optional glow and lighting effects.
Features:
- Laser beam starts from the weapon’s actual muzzle position
- Accurate surface collision and laser impact detection
- Visible laser dot on walls, vehicles, NPCs, and other surfaces
- Optional impact glow and dynamic light effect
- Hybrid aiming system for natural behavior while aiming and at low-ready
- Stabilized weapon direction to prevent the beam pointing sideways or behind the player
- Beam automatically hides while reloading
- Optional Only While Aiming mode
- Toggle the laser ON/OFF with a configurable key
- Optional toggle sound
- Adjustable laser RGB color
- Adjustable beam length, width, opacity, and brightness
- Adjustable dot size, opacity, distance scaling, and visibility
- Adjustable impact glow and light settings
- Supports pistols, SMGs, assault rifles, MGs, shotguns, sniper rifles, stun guns, and heavy weapons
- Fully customizable via Settings.ini

- L – Toggle Realistic Beam System ON/OFF
