Nope, MIRV weapons can't do lasers.  It can only split into "MISSILE" or "ROCKET" types of projectiles.

  Depending on how loose your terminology is, I'd suggest taking a look at the Neutrino Unstable Photon Cannon data - the effect may be 'lasery'/close enough to resembling your desired effect with a bit of customization.

Yes this is good example what i planning to do but i got 1 problem, the 'laser' as a missile lifetime is too long, is there any way to change this.
Anyway maybe proximity_fuse behavior will be better.

What we need to have is the weapon split into Drones that have a special burst laser with one shot, have them propelled out from the Mirv when it detonates so they go in a pile of directions, and only the ability to control their orientation and not direction.


Now that'd probably work.

Edit: Like that one Gundam
