spaceship/EnemyBigLaserBeam.gd

class_name EnemyBigLaserBeam
extends Node2D

# Self-contained charge -> fire -> flash sequence for the mothership's big
# laser (see EnemyBigLaserComponent). Lives independently of the enemy that
# fired it once launched - added to the tree root, exactly like
# ArtilleryShell/EnemyProjectile - so the mothership dying mid-charge
# doesn't cancel a shot already telegraphed to the player.
#
# The aim direction is locked once, in launch(), and never touched again:
# that is what makes the telegraph dodgeable. Nothing in _process() re-reads
# the fleet's position while charging.
#
# Damage: every ship in group "player_ships" whose perpendicular distance
# to the beam segment is within beam_half_width, AND whose projection along
# the beam falls inside [0, beam_range], takes Ship.take_damage(damage) -
# same all-or-nothing shield semantics as every other damage source in this
# game (Ship.take_damage already handles the absorb_hit check itself).
