point_laser_target is a point entity available in Portal 2 Portal 2.

Entity description

It provides a target for lasers to strike and will fire outputs when struck and unstruck. In this respect, it is functionally similar to both prop_laser_catcher and prop_laser_relay but does not provide its own model, sounds, or particle systems as they do. This makes it a useful entity for building custom laser catchers and relays.

Keyvalues

Terminal Point ([todo internal name (i)]) <boolean>
If enabled, an env_portal_laser with auto-targetting enabled will attempt to automatically adjust its aim to snap to the point_laser_target when the beam is close by. This is ideal for custom catchers but not for relays.
Name (targetname) <string>
The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g. parentname or target).
Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report.
