TE_BEAMTORUS

A ring-shaped beam that expands over time. The edges of the ring rotate so that they always faces you. The orientation of the torus can't be changed.

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Vector	pos	Center point of the torus
float	radius	Max radius of the torus
string	sprite	Sprite used to draw the beam
uint8	startFrame	Starting frame for the beam sprite
uint8	frameRate	Frame rate of the beam sprite (FPS * 0.1) (has no effect)
uint8	life	Time to display the beam (seconds * 0.1)
uint8	width	Width of the beam / height of the torus
uint8	noise	Noise amplitude of the beam (units * 0.1)
Color	c	Color of the beam sprite
uint8	scrollSpeed	Scroll speed of the beam sprite (has no effect)
