Description
How to use
Use the particle Systems that start with numbers. If it doesn't start with a # it means that its one of the many parts of the effect.

Lasers
1. Add a Particle system
2. Choose the pcf file
3. Choose your laser color (#4-6)
4. Animate the "control_point_0" as you would like the laser to move. (Light is pretty quick, so your laser shouldn't be too slow. Using Linear tangents also helps improve laseriness)

Light Sabers
1. Add a Particle system
2. Choose the pcf file
3. Choose your laser color (#1-3)
4. Lock and position the "control_point_0" bone to your deadly flashlight. Make sure you rotate it around to make sure the light comes out of the right end

To change the colors of the lightsabers, just right click on your particle, click on edit particle system definition, and click on glow. Then select color random and you'll get 2 different color options

For the lazy

Locking this particle to whatever model completely breaks it and it refuses to render. Doesn't matter whether locking to controlpoint0 or transform.
