What I actually meant is it should have straight branches like the tree in
Robert J Becrafts IRTC fortress entry.(posted 2001/04/28 21:56 PM in
p.b.i.).  The number of cylinders in the whole lightning bolt should be the
same as the number of branches(stem included).  So it would look like a
'stick drawing'.
Like this:
                  \
                   /\_
                  /I I I\

Each symbol represents 1 cylinder.

As I have exact control over where to put my lightning bolt I can then just
replace each cylinder with one of my lightning bolts.
I hope this explains it better.

Thanks

Nekar
