TracerStreak.uc $Author: Mfox $ $Date: 4/30/02 12:22p $ $Revision: 3 $ Description: Effect for simulating a tracer bullet. How to use this class:
Spawn it.
Set the endpoints for where the streak will be drawn from/to in the same tick.
The fading process is automatically started on the next tick.
Set the endpoints for where the streak will be drawn from/to in the same tick.
The fading process is automatically started on the next tick.
How this class works:
Connects the two endpoints with large segments.
Starting with the first segment, it is broken into two parts.
Then of those two new segments, the first one is broken into two parts.
Then of those two new segments, the first one is faded out.
Starting with the first segment, it is broken into two parts.
Then of those two new segments, the first one is broken into two parts.
Then of those two new segments, the first one is faded out.
(Using ScaleGlow/Translucency).
Once the first segment is completely faded away, the second is faded out.
Then the second (next larger) segment is broken in two and those are
Then the second (next larger) segment is broken in two and those are
faded out.
This continues until all the segments are faded out.
If bUseLifeSpan is set to true, streaks aren't faded out -- their LifeSpan
If bUseLifeSpan is set to true, streaks aren't faded out -- their LifeSpan
will determine how long they last (e.g. 0.0 ==> forever).
