target_laser

Those cool colored light bands.

1.Firstly, create a good sized room (300x300x300) and place your info_player_start and a light in there.

2.Place a target_laser entity against one wall of the room. Give it an "angle" key and value, so it points across the room in the right direction.

3.Using the "spawnflags" key, you set the color, size, etc of the laser.

4.You can put a func_button in and give it a "target" of "laser1" and give the target_laser a "targetname" of "laser1" and the button will toggle the laser on and off.

5. Compile your map and check out your laser.

6. You can also target the lasers at things like func_trains, for moving lasers. This is very easy to do. Just add a "targetname" to your func_train, and a "target" to the targ_laser entity. Then the laser will follow the train around..

Here's a sample map showing the switchable lasers.
