_laserAdLIfe changes how long the laser exists after the shot.
_laserAdRate changes the laser's reload time.
_laserAdVel changes how far the laser goes.

I never make stupid mistakes. Only very, very clever ones.
It is not the fall that kills you. It's the sudden stop at the end.

You can find the variables for all the ones related to laser by typing this in bz:

set _laser*

And it'll bring those up. It works for any of the many variables and helps a bunch.

Ex: set _tank*
set _rain*

Shorten the laser's _laserAdVel and see what happens. Try 20 or so.

Yes, you are correct. But this link does http://www.bzflag.org/wiki/ServerVariables . Granted not everything is there and there is a disclaimer, but it should point you in the right direction. :D
