  • Radius: 256
  • Life: 1
  • Width of beam: 255
  • Amount of noise: 20
  • Sprite name: sprites/laserbeam.spr
  • Texture Scroll Rate: 35
  • Frames per 10 seconds: 0
  • Starting frame: 0
  • Strike again time: 1
  • Damage: 0
  • Flags: Start On, Shade End

The pad is ready. Attach some jump arrows to it.
