Sandbox.BeamEffect

The BeamEffect component creates a visual beam effect in the scene, simulating a continuous line or laser-like effect. Unlike LineRenderer these beams can change over time, spawn multiple instances, and have various properties like color, texture, and lifetime. This is a useful component for creating things like laser beams, energy effects and tracers.
