-'''Thermal discouragement beams''' or '''lasers''' are a puzzle element in [[Portal 2]]. Lasers emanate from emitters, and can be used to trigger sockets and destroy things, mainly [[turret (Portal 2)|turrets]]. They can be extended through [[Portal (Portal 2)|portals]], just like [[bridge (Portal 2)|bridges]], [[wall (Portal 2)|walls]], and [[Excursion Funnel|funnels]]. When players touch a laser, they receive a small amount of damage and are pushed away from the beam. Prolonged contact kills the player. Normal [[cube (Portal 2)|cubes]] block the laser, but redirection cubes point it in a different direction (parallel to the floor).
-==Creation==
-The two most important elements of any laser setup are [[env_portal_laser]] and [[prop_laser_catcher]], which create and "catch" the laser, respectively. Two optional elements are the [[prop_weighted_cube]] with ''CubeType'' set to 2 (redirection cube) and the [[prop_laser_relay]].
