The idea is pretty simple so here goes: *There are seven lasers. Those that use gems and those that use crystal shards. They can only be available after you get the mechanic. Crafting: -2 lenses - 1 gem(ruby,sapphire, emerald,topaz, amethyst diamond) - 5 iron - 2 wire - 1 torch (or something else) Those are lasers and now the other piece that is powered when the corresponding laser hits it. They are made with: -1 lens -1 gem -2 wire -3 iron They are both made at an anvil. And they have the color corresponding to the gems color. *NOW for the hardmode, since these above are used in mechanics. Any laser above+ 2 crystal shards. -Now these ones are made at an myhtril anvil. -These inflict(maybe) burned debuff. -They can hurt Wraiths(yay) -They do 27(?) dmg. They cant power anything. Well, thats it. There maybe more like a laser gun or something. Thx for reading.
You can place lens in places to reflect lasers, and fwip lens's placement with a rightclick, like so: \:Lens | and -:Laser }:Emitter }-------\ ........| ........| Rightclick the mirror, and ........| ........| }-------/ That took a while to make.
I like this idea. The first kinds of lasers should be triggered/generate an electrical signal when someone breaks the laser, but it can be tricked by going invisible, or some other mechanic.
Or maybe you can craft a mirror to accomplish the same thing, like 2 lenses and 10 glass? I think that'd be rad.
