Only posting this here because Game Design only talks about their own projects, when I need actual help.
Beam was recently added into studio, and works like trail. You have it with two attachments. |
|

I added the beam into my part, right?
Then I gave it the selected attachments I wanted it to use.
I tested it, nothing showed up (despite me setting a texture, and it being set to enabled) |

@LeafDoode
I mean the way you set it up is like trail. That's what I've gathered at least.
it doesn't work like trail. |

a new object??
cool i wanna check it out to!
|
|
|
I've also played around with it, and can't get anything to work. It has to be relatively new because there needing to be attachments. I haven't found documentation on Devforum or the wiki on it. Strange |
|
|
This is new. It hasn't been fully implemented yet. Give it a week or so and it should be completely available for use |
|
|
The wiki clearly says that the Beam update is still pending.
http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=ReleaseNotes/11.8.17
It will be updated to Live once it's actually activated. ROBLOX releases one of these "change logs" each week when they do an update.

@Lightning_Dev
I already knew it was in studio, and that it was pending. I just don't get why they'd put it into studio if it's still pending. |

I noticed Beam was added a few days ago... I'm going to play with it now. |
|

they sometimes add objects before they have functionality. this happened with some of the post processingeffects. idk what their reasoning is for doing that.
the wiki is generally a good place to look if you want to see a new changelog.
i also enjoy the anaminus ROBLOX Api differences github
you can search it in google and the first result will provide a page that's updated every time roblox updates with a date and whatever was added

"idk what their reasoning is for doing that."
Mobile and other platforms take a while to get updates. iTunes wants to approve updates after Roblox makes a change (which can take a week or so), so Roblox adds the feature to everything, and then enables it after iTunes and the Windows 10 App Store approve the changes. That way they all get the working feature released at once and there are no incompatibilities.

Confirmed by staff, they will be enabling this feature shortly. Here's an example of what it should look like: youtube.com/watch?v=phSD33mothE |
