Strange DeHackEd question

[nrofl]

The Unmaker in D64 is a hitscan weapon where the laser beam projectiles are from a visual tweak. I am wondering if its possible to do in Doom2 with DeHackEd. Assuming it is possible Id like to know how to do it cause im far too dumb to figure it out. Thanks!

• It's not possible even under MBF21 to recreate the demon keys, nor the effect they have on the Unmaker.
• The unmaker's spread patterns cannot be remade under traditional dehacked (remember it can only define what already exists). MBF21 has a custom hitscan attack codepointer but no means to define a fixed spread.
• The laser effect simply isn't doable at all. There's no capacity for it in the renderer, and hitscans cannot generate any kind of trail effect. You cannot remake it with projectiles because such a projectile would move too fast for the physics to be able to trace collisions properly.
• You cannot make a new weapon, only replace existing ones.

Well

The closest think you can do to recreate the unmaker, is to dehack the bfg ball to immediately detonate and summon the 40 tracers, and make it rapid fire 

Its surprisingly effective and fun

This makes it so you have a gun that has rapid fire 40 high damaging tracers, but drains ammo far quicker
