LaserInnerColor sets the color of the thin core line down the middle of an IsLaser=yes beam, as red, green and blue values from 0 to 255.

At the medium and high detail levels, the core is an antialiased line blended onto whatever lies beneath it, one channel at a time. Only channels above 0 are blended; a 0 channel leaves that channel of the picture beneath unchanged. The default 0,0,0 therefore draws no visible core.

At the low detail level, the core is drawn as a plain line in this color, darkened where the picture beneath is shaded, so 0,0,0 draws a black line.

The core is the only part of a laser whose color you choose freely at the medium and high detail levels. The glow lines beside it use only the red of LaserOuterColor, and the screen glow along the beam only brightens red.

The value is read from the weapon in the object’s first weapon slot, whichever slot fired. A laser weapon in the second slot therefore uses the first weapon’s core color.
