The Infinity beam emitter tag shoots a beam every 15 seconds, how can I make it so that it wait 5 minutes before it shoots the next beam?

Thanks

You'll need to adjust and export its animation so that the beam's last position is much further away I guess, then change the device's position transition time from 15 to 300. That should keep the beam moving at the same speed while looping back after 5 mins.



Wasn't too much work actually. Save this as "device position.jmo" and compile. Beam now travels 20x farther to compensate for the 20x increase in duration.
