Beamteam

This entity is not in the FGD by default.
It should not be put directly in a map because it can only be configured through code.

beamteam is a point entity available in Black Mesa. Essentially a duplicate of beam. Used by tripmines to imitate laser beam. Most likely it exists for the ability to set the color of the laser in Team Deathmatch and for the ability to filter players to whom tripmine reacts.

Important:You can't change beam color in multiplayer. You can do so only in singleplayer.
