gollark: ```lua local target_location = entity.s for i = 1, 5 do target_location = entity.s + entity.v * (target_location:length() / 1.5) end```
gollark: Well, if you think that's actually the problem, I suppose I can adjust the program.
gollark: I assumed it was a small enough effect that it wasn't worth doing much about.
gollark: It takes the entity's existing position then adds their velocity multiplied by expected laser time.
gollark: The location to fire the laser at.
