How to create lightening rays for attacking client?

How to create lightening thunder ray for attacking enemy? Please dont suggest straight laser lines. Need thunder lightening rays coming out from gun to enemy. Can anyone help?

You mean something like this?

Create a sprite with the lightning ray (static or animated).

When you fire your weapon, spawn this sprite, adjust its angle and width so it connects your weapon with the target.

You might want to add several variations of the ray image/animation and select one of them at random.

Thanks dop2000, but this is last solution. I am sure there will be someway to draw thunder lightning lines in realtime with bolt effect.

You should be able to customise for your needs.
