env_laser_dot

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.

env_laser_dot is a point entity available in Black Mesa. This is the laser guide endpoint that steer rocket grenades. Used by RPG to change the flying direction for the rockets. It is also used by TOW, however, it doesn't change the flying direction for the missiles. Entity kill will cause immediate respawn.

Note:Used EF_NODRAW effect flag for this entity. The sprite is drawn separately using a client-side entity.

Bug:The sprite always renders through world, even in multiplayer game, which is why a client see other client's laser sprite.

Bug:In Black Mesa (mod) this entity appears automatically at map center. This happens if all these conditions match:

• The player reloads the save.
• RPG's laser is enabled.
• The player don't hold/use the RPG.

Workaround:Add a logic_auto that will fire this output (disable Remove on fire spawnflag).
