the performance with torque script would be horrible.
you will have to go down to C++ and use native GL commands to achieve that.

You can rewrite this code fairly easy.

This code
graf.moveTo(x1,y1);
graf.lineTo(x2,y2);
is drawing a line from (x1,y1) to (x2,y2)

You can rewrite the code without a recursion.

My recommendation is to use a product which is great for producing effects like fire and lightning (and many, many more), these can then be saved as animations for using in Torque:

There are plenty of free effects available as well:

TimelineFX is a great investment indeed. Bought a license long ago and a second one recently to support its dev and motivate him to add new features ;)

I agree, I needed an electrical arc effect in TX2D and created it with a simple 6 frame animation, looks great and performs really fast. It can be placed rotated stretched etc between two points and looks like arcing. Data beats code almost every time.
