beam is a point entity available in all 
Source games.
It is a base entity used by other entities to make beams or other effects|such as bubbles. The entities which use this one offer greater control over the effect.

Input Functions
Width <FIELD_FLOAT> linked function: InputWidth
- Asserts that specified width is lower than MAX_BEAM_WIDTH and then sets m_fWidth ↑ and m_fEndWidth ↑
Noise <FIELD_FLOAT> linked function: InputNoise
- Sets m_fAmplitude ↑
ColorRedValue <FIELD_FLOAT> linked function: InputColorRedValue
- Sets r portion of m_clrRender to value clamped between 0, 255
ColorGreenValue <FIELD_FLOAT> linked function: InputColorGreenValue
- Sets g portion of m_clrRender to value clamped between 0, 255
ColorBlueValue <FIELD_FLOAT> linked function: InputColorBlueValue
- Sets b portion of m_clrRender to value clamped between 0, 255
