Hi.
I have a env_beam entity, and it works fine. but now i want it to move, the i parent the two info targets with a func_movelinear, so the beam are moving sideways.
but as soon as they are parented, the beams doesn't show up in the map? is does, however, show up in hammer. even if the func_movelinear isn't moving, the beams still doesn't show up.
how do I move an env_beam?

For moving objects, don't use an env_beam, use an env_laser.

when i do that, the LENGHT of the laser is like 2 inch or something. even though the target is 50 inch away. and I've used the same settings, that I used with the env_beam?

What are those settings?

Try using func_tracktrains instead of func_movelinears. I've read somewhere on the VDC that there are still bugs with parenting with func_movelinears.
