- Name (targetname) <string>[ Edit ]
- The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g.
parentnameortarget).
Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report.See also: Generic Keyvalues, Inputs and Outputs available to all entities
- 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>
