So far we have SelectionPartLasso and SelectionPointLasso. But there is no SelectionRayLasso.

A SelectionRayLasso will not need a Humanoid to work. It will use PointA and PointB to draw the line. (Vector3 Values)
(The Transparency also needs fixing. It don't work.)
Also add Reflectance to it/them as well.

This will make it easier to make tools like Laser guns. You also wont need to a Humanoid or any Bricks to make it work.
This is needed for any one who wants to easily make Vector3 lines in Roblox.


We need something like this:

local LaserBeam = Instance.new("SelectionRayLasso")
LaserBeam.Transparency = 0.5
LaserBeam.Color = BrickColor.new("Really red")
LaserBeam.PointA = script.Parent.Handle.Position
LaserBeam.PointB = Mouse.Hit.p
LaserBeam.Parent = script.Parent
game:GetService("Debris"):AddItem(LaserBeam, 1)

-OR-

local LaserBeam = Instance.new("SelectionRayLasso")
LaserBeam.Transparency = 0.5
LaserBeam.Color = BrickColor.new("Really red")
LaserBeam.Ray[1] = script.Parent.Handle.Position
LaserBeam.Ray[2] = Mouse.Hit.p
LaserBeam.Parent = script.Parent
game:GetService("Debris"):AddItem(LaserBeam, 1)


Note: This is not a how to. Currently there is no "SelectionRayLasso" yet.
I am asking Roblox to make one.

Never thought about something like that...

Honestly though we need more functions for drawing objects in a 3D environment as parts are simply too laggy if they are only used for looks and not for physics. A lack of Velocity, CanCollide, Anchored, RotVelocity, Specific Gravity, Elasticity, Friction, Surfaces, Surface Inputs, GetMass, BreakJoints, MakeJoints, Touched, TouchEnded and StoppedTouching could greatly decrease lag in games which use them in oppose to parts that simply have cancollide false.
