Lightning gun -- help

Hi..

I'm trying to make a QuakeC-made LG without using builtin functions.
I've removed traceline, WriteByte, WriteEntity, and WriteCoord lines from W_FireLightning().

A little time ago, I've seen in slow-motion (host_framerate 0.001) the original one fires dozens of bolt2.mdl forward. And I've seen that they've avelocity_z set to some very high value. And I've noticed that the first bolt spins slower that the second, that spins slower than the third, and so on.

So, I need some help on how to make a QC made one, putting a bolt in front of another, limiting the distance of 600.
And removed after 0.2 seconds, and every frame pointing at the player's view angle like ezquake's fakeshaft.

Any ideas?
Thanks!

Yes, you should. I really don't know WHY you are doing this.

To create another type of instant weapons..

I mean, why are you doing it without traceline and all that... :O

Just for testing...
But to the bolts reach the trace_endpos, how can I do that?
