please keep the wavy look its much more appealing than clean particles but i would appreciate the actual fixes

AUTHOR, add this to a Community Fix pack, ASAP!

i'm a Medic main & i'd love this!

Please keep the wavies, they look better in my opinion. Also, they stay true to the trailer (Meet the Medic). Though the missing particle fix is nice, wouldn't include the first "fix" though.

i honesty prefer the wavey beam.

The original Medigun beams had a hard time staying connected to the person you were healing

what was wrong with old one

I vote to add this in, but keep the wavy particles a little. I like that, but I'd want my medibeam to seem connected.

Didn't even know this was broken

For me, keep the origin placement because I like how it actually connects to the medigun-
But keep the wavy physics of the original - maybe tone 'em down ever so very slightly.

I beg to god that this gets in. I play medic the most.

Guy below me knows what's good

I don't understand why everyone is so upset about this fix. The beam we have right now looks like it's disconnected from the gun. The fix is clearly preventing that.

Alright so I have to be more transparent.
What I fixed is the first control point moving (the origin of the beam at the muzzle of the medigun) when moving the camera. This comes with the "side effect" of the beam not looking erratic...

However, the default medigun looks choppy (like at 15 fps) when setting even a low value to max and min distance, and when setting it to 0 the beam now looks normal.

I can't fix the beam going through walls. There is an option for particle to not go through static objects (brushes, prop_static), however, it doesn't work well for 2cp particles. Also, the particle follow a hardcoded bezier curve that I can't change or I couldn't figure out how to do it. It's up to Valve to change the bezier curve to be more linear.

↓↓↓↓↓ this guy said it

I like the original honestly, it feels like an unstable beam like how it feels to be healing someone, plus its instability feels like the rickety sci-fi theme tf2 has, and the swirly effect gave it some character.

Honestly I'm kinda conflicted on this, like the original has a kinda "weight" to it that makes the medigun look more unstable (which fits its whole visual thing of looking slapped together out of junk), but the "fixed" version also looks kinda good...

i dont really see the need for this as the original acts as funky rope movement on a futuristic beam rather than a fixed still beam that doesnt look natural. Probably a personal preference, but this is what i think

I'm gonna cum if this gets in

Bad overlap is just probably because of sorse enyin

No. I believe that's caused by game code (probably because of a bad implementation of a bezier curve for 2 cp particles?), and for the overlap idk

Does this cause wall clipping due to the changed curve, and bad overlap for multiple medi-beams at once?

I prefer how it looks "unfixed", but this does look neat.

After 16 years the medigun beam finally might be fixed

Really good fixes

Compare the two videos, Lord

what exactly is "fixed"

beauty

He untied the Medi Gun beam's knot

Yeah would be!
