Lightning GitHub
This was made following this article. The article can be used for further explanation of how it works.
Usage is as simple as:
var/vector/start = new (x1 * 32, y1 * 32) // position in pixels
var/vector/dest = new (x2 * 32, y2 * 32) // position in pixels
var/line/l = new(start, dest)
l.Draw(usr.z)
var/bolt/b = new(start, dest)
b.Draw(usr.z)
