Multiple Lasers at a time?

[N64Mario]

I was looking at the laser example posted here
http://www.clickteam.com/epicenter/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=159665&Searchpa ge=1&Main=22091&Words=laser&Search=true#Post159665
and I was wondering if its possible that I can create multiple lasers on the screen at time, but without the slowdown? I made a similar code to that example above, but when I did this while more than 1 laser was on the screen, it seemed to slow down the game.
I tried making mutliple lasers WITHOUT fast loops, but i don't think it's going to stop correctly (collisions with backdrops, etc) without using fast loops.

I also tried spreading out the lasers alterable values & using fast loops to check the count of lasers & their ID's, but that did not seem to work either. Any suggestions?

It's probably the scaling that's slowing it down. You could try moving a tiny "guide" object to detect obstacles in the fastloop, and then creating a scaled "laser" object after the fastloop has finished...

I have the same problem and I think it is neccessary to create "Laser Extension" that will use shaders(not active objects). It would be effectively and economically(for PC recources). I could create such extension by myself but i don't know C++ and I have not MMF2 SDK.

Here, I made an example for you guys:

Actually, me and a friend are developing a game together. This animation is actually what I am trying to accomplish as far as lasers go.
This is just a flash animation, but me and this guy are actually making this into a game now.
I kind of have the lasers working, but they aren't using fast loops for stretching at the moment. I'm just using fast loops to separate & match IDs of the lasers and whatever is firing them. X_X

Yeah, that sounds about right. For an effect like that I think I'd just create multiple tile-sized laser objects, and create a new one every couple frames.
