Beam splitter single
This scripted entity is designed to split a laser beam into N smaller and weaker beams. Every time a beam hits, its source will be added to the splitter sources for the output beams to be selected. You can easily create crystal loops that will stay sustained until something blocks the beam path or a given refraction material absorbs some of the power when passing through it, in case the entity is in repeater mode, having only one output beam.
The entity will be turned on whenever at least one source is present, and its power is greater than zero. This cannot be turned on using wiremod.
The beam power is calculated using the formula p = 5 * w + d, where p is the power being considered, w is the current beam width, and d is the damage. The entity loops through its sources for the source entity that produces the most powerful laser beam and uses it as dominant.
The output beam behavior and visuals ( texture, sounds, color, flags, etc. ) will be taken from the entity laser beam that is considered dominant, producing the most powerful beam that hits the splitter. Width, force, damage, and the remaining length, however, are being divided by the output beams count.
This entity has only outputs, which means that you can only read its internal state and use it to control something else.
