gollark: It's part of a more complex system, but basically:- Lasers (from Plethora) were on ComputerCraft turtles (robot things), which could fire them in arbitrary directions- The turtles ran a program which connected to a relay-type service I run on my web server, which let them receive commands like "fire at this position" or "fire in this direction"- That relay service passed commands from clients to turtles and the results back to said clients- The Python script connected to the MC server's dynmap (popular service for web maps for Minecraft servers) web API, which, among other things, provides positions of players, and sent commands to fire at the reported position of players.
