ocular rewritten

Hello, I'm making a Shmup arcade game and one of the weapons that the player or enemy can pick up or use is a laser. Why don't I want to use a pen? If you ask, I had trouble getting players to detect the lasers even using if touching colors. Sometimes players die themselves when they touch something other than the laser. Do you have any ideas?

If anyone wants to know what the project is like, here it is : https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/992402813/

How's this?

if <(Picked Up) = [True]> then
forever
go to [Sprite to spawn at. v]
show
point in direction (Direction v)
end
end

(The sprite should be a start line from the center outwards with a length of at least 600, assuming the starting point can be anywhere on the stage and the direction can be anything, length may work if shorter if assumptions are wrong.)

I guess the simplest solution is the best
