I did something like this (i don't remember if I had to edit code elsewhere
or not.. so, this may only be part of it)
Inside DrawModel; in beam_shared.cpp, after beams->drawbeam..
I added
if ( m_pfnThink )
{
if ( GetNextThink() < gpGlobals->curtime )
{
Think();
}
}
This allowed the think function to get called on the client when it was time
to remove it.
However, I've since changed my weapon that used this instant-fire beam, and
created a new tracer effect that essentially does the same thing though, and
functions better.
But this did work ;)
