Made PickupPillars for ammo, items and stuff, and even got them behave and billboard the way I like them.
The pickups in DoomReal/Tournament are often ridiculously small and hard to notice, and official "solution" to the complaint was "make small glinty shit more glinty" which did not satisfy me at all, so in between trying to tweak the balance, I found a solution to that by copying some special effects from elsewhere and repurposing that code.

Originally billboarding would make the pillar line to float above the pickup, but I just extended invisible part of the pillar (transparent) below the ground and played with the offsets, to make the ground contact a point where the center of the sprite are, so that the light pillar is always attached to the center of the pickup, no matter which way you look at it.
