Laser effect

Hi,

How would I go about making a laser pointer effect in which the laser sprite is only visible when it overlaps a smoke/water sprite? I can't figure out which of the built in effects to use.

Cheers

Here's an example that uses masks:

There are two smoke sprites, one that shows the smoke, and another one that masks the laser. They both have the same image.

Edit:

You have to use "Force own texture" in the layer properties when you use masks.

thanks deadeye, that works great

That's a really neat effect, also .
