Ideas
- Set Pivot to Base and drive Angle with a Phasor for a radar sweep.
- Set Pivot to Base, wire an Envelope into Length, and trigger it from audio so the line shoots out on every kick.
- Feed into Duplicator with a Rotation spread for a starburst of lines.
- Run it through Dotter for an evenly spaced row of dots.
