How do lasers work
-
I am baffled. How do the so called "sketchyphysics lasers" work? How do you make them in the first place?
-
There aren't any lasers in SketchyPhysics. Not sure what they would do if they did.
-
That's something I wanna know. CPhillips, search 'em on the warehouse to see.
-
There is no trick. The laser beam part of the object is just set a semi-transparent cylinder set to ignore.
-
The one I saw blasted away anything it touched. Any ideas?
-
haha. C.phillips, if it was mine you downloaded, I can't believe you didn't test it
It depends on who's laser you saw, but I could tell you how any of them work. Mine is called "sketchyphysics superlaser" found here: http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=3fc84acdf13d2b5cf2b4b4fc81fd83b7.
If you turn on hidden geometry you will see that there is a cylinder on an oscillating piston, going back and forth along the laser at high speeds. This blasts anything it touches away.On a similar note, I also made a trip-mine type bomb called "sketchyphysics superbomb" found here: http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=c847e23ae4057988d173374b4d195bd8 .
It's a frozen object with a hidden frozen cone below it, that when touched, launches upwards on a piston, in a sort of explosion, launching the object that touched it.you can test both these models out first hand by going to this adress, and downloading this model, which contains many parts made by other modelers, as well as the R.O.V., bomb and laser by me.

%(#808080)[NOTE: I also made normal, non "super" versions of these models on the warehouse, but they arn't as amazing
BTW, the sketchyphysics superbomb tends to have the SP glitch found in this thread: http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=13470. It seems to only happen when an object is un-frozen by a collision. When clicked, the glitch does not appear...]

Ha, Very cool! Thanks BTM.
