Credit is all I ask for... Honing my skills is the real payment.

And I would be interested in YOUR finished effect.
Not the actual code, just as in what "tweaks" did/will you make and why?
(just in case I am leaving out a useful capability.
If there is enough missing, I may try to put together an "Electric Bolt" function
that is tailored more to "weapon" effects, rather than "weather" effects as it is now.)

I HAVE been having 'background' thoughts of a single-bolt effect that is animated...
Any ideas/suggestions requests ANYONE?
