env_particle_beam is a point entity available in Black Mesa Black Mesa. It creates a particle beam between itself and a given target. Similar to env_laser.

Icon-Bug.pngBug:The burn trail doesn't work in current versions of the game.

Keyvalues

Particle Beam Name (particlebeam) <particlesystem>

Damage (damage) <float>
The amount of damage.
Damage Tick (damagetick) <float>
Determines the frequency of damage.
Burn Trail Material (burntrail) <material> Obsolete
Deprecated.
Material for burn trail to use. Not in the game code.
