Create Tesla gun in Godot using simple shaders | Dicode

hello everyone,
I am here again with another visual effect tutorial in Godot
this time i have made a really cool tesla gun that fires lightning.
It is very similar to creating a Laser because the main mechanics is almost the same in both the cases. I have used the line2D node to create the main lightning and then applied a simple shader code in it.
and this lightning is going to be fully interactable with other object as well and the collision is checked by the Raycast2D node.
I will say that it look great because of the Kenny image pack.
you can download the image pack from here:
godotengine.org/asset-library...
I hope this video helps you in your project or if you have learnt something new from this.
don't forget to like and subscribe to this channel
and I will see you guys in the next one :)

[@maniksharma9736]

Can u please explain how raw colour work....????

[@dicode1q]

Raw mode is used to add extra (over brighten the image) colors to image
. When you select color from color picker it is only in range of 0 to 1. But in raw you can go from 0 to 255. Also it gave move control on handling specific color channel.

my laser is really short, how can i fix it?

[@dicode1q]

increase the cast to variable of your Ray2D to a higher value, something like 1000 on x axis

My spark stuck when the time frequency is over 4.0 🥲. My pc can only run Godot GLES 2.0
