Description
- Description:
- Draws a laserbeam and a lightpoint at the impact location of the laser.
The command has to be executed each frame - see Arma 3: Mission Event Handlers - Draw3D.
Lasers drawn with this command are subject to the same limitations as weapon attachment lasers as set in the CfgIRLaserSettings config class. - Groups:
- InteractionLights
Syntax
- Syntax:
- drawLaser [sourcePos, direction, color, thickness, dotSize, isIR]
- Parameters:
- sourcePos: Array format PositionASL - laser origin position
- direction: Array format Vector3D - laser's direction vector
- color: Array format Color (RGB) - laser beam and impact dot colour. Values can go way above the usual 0..1 range as they also act as emissivity brightness
- thickness: Number - laser beam thickness scale; if set to 0, the beam will not render
- dotSize: Number - impact dot size; if set to 0 the impact dot will not render
- isIR: Boolean - (Optional, default true) whether the laser and impact dot are visible only in Night Vision/Thermal Imaging
- Return Value:
- Nothing
Examples
- Example 1:
addMissionEventHandler ["Draw3D", { drawLaser [ eyePos player vectorAdd [0,0,0.1], getCameraViewDirection player, [1000,0,0], // bright red 20, 5, false ]; }]; // give player a laser eye
