Hi slack and friends.

Wanted to know how I make that light beam thing.

you could decompile the map and see.

in cs1.6 it would be done with the fade texture on a func_illusionary

ic source I think there are effects textures used on func_illusionary

I didnt really get what i need to do with the Fade texture.
What if I dont want it to be yellow?

[Slackiller]

I still dont get it...
How to I do that with the yellow->black fade texture??

Can you plz post a step-by-step thing plz?
thx.

make a brush in the shape of the light beam, apply yellow/black fade texture on the 4 outer sides of brush. Highlight the brush and hit the To Entity button and make it a func_illusionary. set render mode to additive and fx amount to something like 70-80
Look at the countermap tutorial on it for the halflife 1 engine.

make a small test map to try it out
