Since my old Laser Target Splat cursors stopped working, I figured I'd switch to the new Arc actors for my laser guides. Though they work really well in theory, I'm having two issues with them that I can't seem to figure out.
1. If I move my cursor outside the range of the ability, the laser detaches (for lack of a better word) from the source unit and follows the cursor. Is there a way to make it fixed to the source unit so this doesn't happen?
2. I added events to the actor to make it Destroy when the targeting is off, but sometimes the line remains visible for a second regardless. Is there a good way to effectively prevent it from showing up after I click my target?

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

Raise the range in the ability. If it is 500, the beam stays on the caster.
Ah, wow, that was easy. Haha. Thanks.

In the Actor Events, change the "Destroy.Normal" to "Destroy.Immediate" (I believe).
None.

Oh, also, I've heard that the campaign uses something like that somewhere. I would check out what Blizzard is doing. Obviously that might be the optimal solution with the target marker destruction.

It's already set to that. I have a lot of events to remove it set up, but sometimes it lingers for a second.

Hmm I don't remember ever seeing it used in the Campaign. There's a different wide 3-part beam that is used as a targeting feature, though. Maybe that's what you heard about?
