# Utilities

Laser System comes with great utilities tools that will spare you some configuration steps.

### Enable Bloom

By pressing this button you will enable / disable Bloom.

Behind this magic, Laser System will activate your compositing, add required nodes to it, and activate the real time compositor in your **current workspace**.

If you already have nodes in your compositing, Laser System will append the Glare node right after the View Layer node, and before any other node you already have.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you already have a Galre node in your compositor, even disconnected, Laser System will not append a new one.
{% endhint %}

### Laser Systems Management

In this panel you will see in a blink of an eye, all Laser System in your current View Layer. Each block contains the object's name, the Laser Systems currently on this object, and some tools.

### Utilities (Object Level)

Next to the Object Name:

* **The Arrow** allows you to select the object. It will show up in the Outliner too.
* **The Trash Can:** Remove all Laser Systems (modifiers) from this object.

### Utilities (Modifier Level)

Under Object's name, you have all Laser Systems (modifiers) listed.&#x20;

* **Fire**: Add required keyframes to fire only once
* **Fire ∞**:  Add required keyframes to fire continuously, at the defined Fire Rate
* **Pause**: Add required keyframes to hold fire
* **The Arrow**: Select the object, display this modifier in Modifers List and collapse the others.
* **The Trash Can**: Delete only this Laser System from the object

If you don't see any laser be fired when pressing "Fire", clear simulation Cache and move Timeline cursor back to frame 0.
