Planes can easily be shot down by lasers. The only things needed are enough range to reach the plane (if using spherical targeting), a fast enough aiming script to track the plane, and if a BeamWeapon then a fast enough WeaponVelocity.

Yeah. Beamlasers are actually very effective vs planes because they're insta-hit and very accurate (usually)

You can't make a laser ray, at least not aimed at the missile since you don't know what the shield does. I bet Zwzsg could cobble a script together that tracks the shield strength and guesses where a missile might have come from but that's not something you can do easily.

Actually if you have a laser that is set to be an antiweapon it will aim and fire at incoming missiles, it just has no effect on them. So it acts like an antiweapon minus the actually stopping the missiles. So if you had an invisible shield set to destroy the missiles with a similar range to the laser you could do a really ugly workaround. It might look okay it might not.

Perhaps the shield could be linked with cob to the laser so it's off when the laser reloads.
