It looks great phazon! seriously.
SEMI-ON TOPIC:

phazon on days when nobody posts much, I look throughthe old stuff on the pages that are to old to post on.
and I still haven't seen many scorch mark attempts. (I say this relative to other "successful" attempts at things besides scorch marks.)

How long do the marks last?

They last about 2 seconds I think...

I don't know how often my bolts end up hitting the ground, so the clipping wouldn't be much of an issue, but the hitting the walls looks awesome!

Perhaps you should increase the life span of those marks.

Meh, the computer needs to be able to handle it too

Making them last too long might give problems, effects might even dissapear.

I don't know. 2 seconds seems kind of ridicules....then again, dead bodies disappering in seconds is also inaccurate.

Believe me, you'll want it to last two seconds. This is according to actually counting to two seconds, not counting in some other crazy way.

In your WIP thread, I saw little red things in the younger scorch marks. Are those just mini-explosions or are they actually part of your new scorch mark

They are part of my scorch mark, yes. I tweaked my scorch mark for those ground effects by making it flat. I also have a flat scorch mark for my ordnance, so the clipping issues on the ground are fixed.

Are the sizes manipulatable? You know, bigger scorch marks for missles, grenade, etc?

For that, it'll only work if I have new effects for them (with bigger explosions, etc.).

You said these marks come with a little explosion? That would be perfect for making space maps. It would certainly add to the realism.
