A new object called laser. It'll be color changable, and also you can change the size of it. Basically it a stream of light that'll be able to be placed on a surface of a brick and jet out of it in that direction until it hits another surface so that it doesn't go through other objects. This could be very useful for guns, concerts, rocket landings(wall-e), laser points, basically anything that could use a laser...

Actually yeah, one of xLEGOx's places (some RTS or something) uses lasers to act out firefights, so it IS scriptable, although quite restricted. It's uncopylocked, fortunately, and the script is not that hard to interpret (if you're a scripter).

So what if it is scriptable? I always hear that answer it scriptable well for noobs THEY CAN'T SCRIPT. Thus saying you both are saying that newbs shouldn't get lasers or even get it from free models which could cause their games to get infected...

I can assure you that there are LOADS of uninfected Raycasting scripts.

Ever take into account Reflecting bricks that are tilted at an angle? It would look really unrealistic if they just stopped. And robox will have to use Raycasting/Math to be able to judge the angle of deflection, thus resulting in ChunkLag. Just to tell you, alot of the ROBLOX objects are scriptable, you could make your own BillboardGui without using the object itself.
