Okay, I am trying add lightning using ENV_LASER, LIGHT, and AMBIENT_GENERIC. I am using a multi_manager. It all works except for the ENV_LASER entities. It takes about 10 seconds for the laser to hit the ground. I am not sure how to make it instant. Help?
Thanks,
Optional
PS: Thanks to Leper for solving that posting problem 
I'm really not sure what you are asking... try rephraseing.
you can't use lasers for lighting. they are just sprites, no light is emitted.
use the env_beam instead.
put the env_beam where you want to lighting to start, and put an info_target where you want the lighting to strike.
In the env_beam propreties, give it a name. Then put the env_beam name in the "starting entity" box and the info_target name in the "ed entity" box. Mess around with the color, sprite, etc.
For added effects, and because I'm sinical, add in a trigger_hurt brush where the lighting strikes with a damage off 99, a duration of 1 second, and a damage type of electric
hehehehehe
Heh, thanks a lot 
PS: The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it. I love cynicism.
Checking the "Multithreaded" flag in the Multi_Managers make it loop its commands, correct? If not, how do I make it loop? Use two Managers and activate each after one cycle?

gollum made me a prefab to loop my music in Double_Trouble, and he succeed in making one MM target itself and it worked..
i dunno if thats of any relevance, but there you are

I'll have your children if you send me that prefab!
*Ahem*
I think perhaps I should upload that prefab again....I'll PM you Optional if I do.

not to be picky, but do you have the equipment to fulfill your end of this bargain?
since gollum made it for me, i feel he has firsties, but i sure have time to wait my turn..
Oh if you have the original prefab Orph, go ahead and post it
I've lost the original; here is a new one that should work. I haven't tested it (which is usually bad)....maybe my boulder is making me c**ky 
Let me know if it works.

it would take me a bit to get to it.. yeah i have it someplace, but i am in the middle of a massive upload and my main pc is tied up doing that, let us know if the new file works or not.. i can always rip the prefab from the D_T map
