Bug:The burn trail doesn't work in current versions of the game.
Important:Original FGD uses choices for some reason, you can write and use any particle system which can work as a beam, lc_beam or hev_crystal_glow for example.
Note:If entity (that the beam ends at) is killed via Kill input - beam will not disappear, but also will not do any damage.
Bug:Does not disable particle effects, only damage.

env_particle_beam is a point entity available in 
Black Mesa. It creates a particle beam between itself and a given target. Similar to env_laser.
Bug:The burn trail doesn't work in current versions of the game.Keyvalues
- Particle Beam Name (particlebeam) <particlesystem>
- Particle system to use for the beam.
Important:Original FGD uses choices for some reason, you can write and use any particle system which can work as a beam, lc_beam or hev_crystal_glow for example.- Beam Target (target) <targetname>
- Entity that the beam ends at. If omitted, the entity will instead use
0 0 0position and will not do any damage.
Note:If entity (that the beam ends at) is killed via Kill input - beam will not disappear, but also will not do any damage.- Damage (damage) <float>
- The amount of damage.
- Damage Tick (damagetick) <float>
- Determines the frequency of damage.

- TurnOff <void>
- Turns beam off.
Bug:Does not disable particle effects, only damage.Flags
- Start on : [1]
