Adding a "laser sight" effect to a SWEP

[MegaTronJohn]

Hey there. I want to create a laser sight that will go on my weapon. There are a few questions I have before, though:

1. What entity/effect could I use to create the laser sight?
2. Would I set it's position on the weapon with SetPos()?
3. Should I do this clientside or serverside?

Thanks in advance.

Use starting position of laser sight's attachment point because anything different will result in dodgy laser sight.

and ending position of LocalPlayer():GetEyeTrace().HitPos

[/B] No. You must set it's position via render.DrawBeam

[/B] Clientside
