Default Settings

Laser System allows you to define default settings that can be used when creating new Laser System, or to replace configuration of existing ones.

Default Settings Panel

Main Settings

Fire

When enabled, Lasers will be fired at the defined Fire Rate

Display Geometry

If True, will display object geometry. Usually you want it checked if you added Laser System directly on the geometry and not as a Child.

Fire Rate

Shoot Laser every x Frames

Laser Object

Object that will be used as Laser.

Sparkles Collection

Collection to pick sparkles from. Laser System is provided with 2 sparkles collections that you're free to use. The CGP_Sparkle and CGP_Sparkles_Smoke

Colliders

Collection to pick colliders from.

Light Impact (optional)

A Light Object that will be displayed in front of the Collider, right before the impact. Use this to improve Lighting, particularly in EEVEE.

Note: If you plan having hundred of impacts at the same time, this will increase your render time.

Laser Lifetime

Laser lifetime duration in Frame.

Laser Speed

Laser speed in meter per frame

Randomize Speed

A ratio that will randomize your Lasers Speed. 0: All Lasers will go at the exact same speed 1: All Lasers will have different speed (maximum speed being 200% of Laser Speed)

Origin Offset

Allows you to fine tune your Laser spawn position.

Add Direct Lighting

When enabled, a Point Light is added to the Laser Object, enhancing its ability to illuminate its surroundings.

Light Impact is required for this to work.

Although Lighting will be better, this setting will increase your render time. The more Lasers you have, the more it will impact performance.

Sparkles Count

How many Particles will be instantiated on impact.

When using particles with transparency or other resource-intensive shaders (like CGP_Sparkles_Smoke), consider keeping this value lower based on your machine's configuration.

Sparkles Lifetime

Maximum particles lifetime, in frame.

Sparkles Speed

How fast Particles will move away from impact

Sparkles Gravity

Specify a gravity ratio for your particles. Positive values will force particles upward, while negative values will force them downward.
