Need little help with my "laser"

[Nyakote]

I have a minion and it should attack enemies with a laser ( Laser should be always targeting the center of the Enemy )

i have some problems:
-it ain't doing any damage ( i have Projectile.NewProjectile method with setted damage = 50 ) //Attached image
-it looks kinda rough ( it ain't solid, doen't look like laser at all ) //Attached GIF
-it stucks inside enemy ( i idk how to describe this correctly ) //Attached GIF

I think that i'm using wrong method to create laser

I know it's a bit off-topic, but do you want help with sprites?

Post the code for the Rainbow projectile itself

You have to set
Projectile.friendly = true;

In SetDefaults()

What is your minion supposed to be?

My friend got an idea of summon staff that summons Ponies from My Little Pony, every orb somehow represent a pony

So, do you want orbs or ponies?

 

[Nyakote]

i think if would look better if those minions look like a proper pony

I’ll get to it soon; this coming week is pretty weird for me, but I’ll try my best.
