-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Those small beams use the alignment of the attachment to draw, though. So if you traced them out straight from the attachment they'd be pretty far off the mark. If you use the vector from the attachment's world position to the actual trace endpoint, you'll get a line that comes out crooked. That's what I was trying to say. So you have to hide it by using FBEAM_SHADEIN (so you don't see it going into the gun crooked) or fix the player's animation state.
And yeah, like these guys are saying, you can look at the RPG for a starting point. But semantically the RPG is set up a little different from what you are trying and there's a pretty good reason that none of Valve's MP weapons have a beam from gun-attachment to end point, which you'll have to solve if that's what you really want.
