	The Targeting Laser was a feature found in TS where a unit would produce a very thin red line to its target just prior to it firing its weapon. It was only used on the Titan and apart form that is unused. The original effect TargetLaser appears to only work with [[VehicleTypes]] but there are other ways to create a similar effect.

	Next, choose the weapon you want to apply the target laser to, in the case of the GGI i chose the [MissileLauncher] weapon to give the GGI laser guided missiles. Find the chosen weapon in [[rules]].ini and add the following code to the end of its stats:		Next, choose the weapon you want to apply the target laser to, in the case of the GGI i chose the [MissileLauncher] weapon to give the GGI laser guided missiles.

	Change the *'s to the values you desire. For the colours these will be in RGB (Red, Green, Blue) format (a good red colour is 255,10,10).

	This effect is great for elite weapons to add a visual identifier that the unit is Elite apart from the chevrons and to mark the weapon apart from regular versions.		This effect is great for elite weapons to add a visual identifier that the unit is Elite apart from the chevrons and to mark the weapon apart from regular versions.

	Unfortunatly this does not work in Tiberian Sun or the Firestorm expansion as you cannot have 'thin' lasers as are used in this example. However, there is a method using a modified railgun that works well in TS & FS.
