look at the position of your laserbeams origin point - try moving it to the left side of your image.

Yep as said above the origin point needs moving. The laser beam sets its central point to image point 1.

I think it will be better to upload your project in a single file or (.capx) format so that it will be easier for them to help.

By following this procedure

Construct 2 Button -> File -> Save As Single File...

Just click the download button at the top to download the capx..

This is saved as a single capx file, google drive just shows the contents of the zip..

The length of your beam (width in the event sheet) is set to the distance between the laser origin and the origin of the LaserEnd object..

The LaserEnd object doesn't move, so the distance between the ship and the unmoving object decides the length of the laser..

I guess what you would like is to have a maximum distance for the laser..

This would consist of pinning laserend (position and rotation) to your ship..

You could also set a max distance in events, but this is a more graphic/visible way..
