TE_USERTRACER

Shoots a customizable bullet tracer.

Due to the low precision of the life parameter, the tracer distance is much less accurate than TE_TRACER.

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Vector	pos	Center point for the effect
Vector	dir	Direction of the tracer
float	speed	Initial tracer speed. The default speed is 6000
uint8	color	Tracer color (index in Engine Palette #2). Only values <0 - 11> are valid. The default color index is 4.
uint8	life	Time to display tracer (seconds * 0.1)
uint8	length	Tracer sprite length
