| Working with beams may seem a bit overwhelming at first due to the number of properties to assign, but it's actually rather simple once you've whittled it down to the basics. Here are the minimum steps required to get a beam operational with 4RPL: | Working with beams may seem a bit overwhelming at first due to the number of properties to assign, but it's actually rather simple once you've whittled it down to the basics.

| - | * Designate beam's end point with SetBeamEnd (Takes 2 arguments. Int for beam ID, V3 for position of beam's end.) Beam's end seems to be treated as absolute world position, unless you use SetBeamForceLocalEnd (Take 2 arguments. Int for beam ID, bool for state.) | + | * Designate beam's end point with [[4rpl: |

| - | * (OPTIONAL) If you wish to destroy the creeper along the path of the beam as the sweeper does, you will want to use ClipCreeperLine (Takes 5 arguments. V3 for start position, V3 for end position, int for width, bool for affects creeper, bool for affects anti-creeper.) The amount of creeper allowed to pass through the line is determined by the vertical height of the beam (in other words, the y components supplied for the start and end vectors.) If you set both y components to 0, it should clip all creeper passing over the line. | + | * (OPTIONAL) If you wish to destroy the creeper along the path of the beam as the sweeper does, you will want to use [[4rpl: |
