Isn't bounce line is for grenades and ordnance? I don't think you can make actual lasers from SWBFII bounce of walls.

Lightsaber block is done via a combo file, so no.

Beams can do that, but they don't bounce.

Couldn't you do a really small (or invisible) explosion effect for the rocket?

That wouldn't enable it to bounce off walls or through people.

i seem to remember someone, i think it was skyhammer, made a disc shooting gun that fired discs that rebounded off everything. he released it in one of his weapon packs, and i'm sure you could just change the mesh to look like a laser couldnt you? it does have gravitational pull on it though, like a grenade.....is this changeable?

No, all the ordnance in SWBFII HAVE to move in an arc. It's hardcoded.

You'd need to change the effect and give it no mesh. It'll move in an arc...but if you make it fast enough this'll be hard to notice.
