u have to install on the server the laserplugin (dont ask me whre u can get it)
or are you trying to make your gun look bad arse by adding a little (essentially) reddot sight to it and then making your default X-hair sprite the reddot?
If option 1, can't do it (I think)
If option 2, go into milkshape3d, decompile the MDL file, find the standard model file (dunno what type, it'll be in the decompiled file folder) and add on a LAM (Laser Aim Module) and then find some tut for replacing X-hair sprites.

I think he means a visible beam, wich is quite possible in the HL engine, if you ever seen Action Half-life, they have a excellent example, I assume he wants somthing simmilar to the NS trailer type beam.
not if I exclude all of the world views, then I can only see my own beam
[edit] I found some .txt files which tell NS which sprites/models to use for a given weapon, if theres a command to add an extra sprite I can probably do it... [/edit]
it sure looks cool... but u can see marines comming that are miles away <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
just slam a lam model on your gun and make your own laserdot...
that will look like a laserbeam <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
zero:You can add a laserpoint beam on your gun as long as its apart of the model.
i think nobody can make you a cool looking laser beam on your weapon...cause the halflife engine havent such a function that creates a static transparent beam from the playerview..
i mean u can model the beam...but its not that what u want
*picture on next post this picture here before has been deleted!*
pretend its not even here
and yes Sheena, I've played the Specialists, and Action Half-Life, the HL engine can do it but it's server-side only...trying to find a working FTP with AHL.

Although it's my assumption that they would rather use the more advanced kind of dot sights that don't have the big trail, which means you may as well just use the aiming reticle.
In real life, laser sights have been rendered illegal in most countries because they are deemed just unfair. That's actually the real reason. Don't flame me out for saying it. Hollywood likes them anyway, though, because they're so stylish. -And- it's more stylish to have the pretty trail, which isn't necessarily and leads people to see where you are. By extension, it became necessary to develop newer lasers that didn't have the trails, which are equally illegal.
Err...what?

(People on this board are hardcore about everything...some of you should chill out, and this has nothing to do with this laser thing but in general it seems like people are on edge and defensive.)
