bouncing lasers

[psyburn]

i would like to see lasers bouncing off objects like glass etc
because lasers are lightbased.

1 it would be a lot more realistic
2 you can use it as a tactical improvement <- hope you know what i mean couldnt come up with the word.
3 it would look c00l

Lasers won't melt glass, as long as the glass isn't colored  :wink:
I think he meant mirrors. Mirrors indeed reflect laser beams although I haven't found mirrors in Tremulous yet   .

Though the engine does support them, so they can be put in maps I believe.

The heat generated by the focussed energy beam would

Even more pulse spam!

well ok i think you may be right
forget my realism thing
it would look cool

If they could tie it to mirrors it would be fun, imagine the numbers of newbies killing themselves while spraying

They already do, sometimes. If you shoot blasts at the corner of a floor, they sometimes hit, and sometimes bounce off at an angle.
