Electrical 'warpping' effect

Does anyone know how to make those electrical effects seen when a alien warps in HL1? I have tried a few different sprites so far such as env_laser, env_beam and even env_shooter but so far none have given the desired effect. Any help is as always very appreciated.

Use WinBSP to conver a map with the Electrical 'warpping' effect so you can see how to do it.

I would but for some reason when winBSP decompiles the map it just dissappears, meaning it doesn't put it into the folder I told it to and when I search computer for it it says that it couldn't find anything. Oh, and on a side note winBSP seems to be working fine minus the last statement.

EDIT: I just went and tried a few things with winBSP and it actually makes a linker address map file(which would explain why I couldn't find it last time)but I have no idea how to use it(for anything really).

Its not a sprite. Its nothing too special:

Actually omegaslayer thats not quite what I'm looking for. I'm talking about the green electricity that shoots in seemingly random directions when a alien warps in in HL1 SP.

Create a few lasers or beams in one place,with different targets.

Is that really it? It would seem then that it would take a heck of alot of info_targets to achieve what can be seen in the test chamber after the whole thing blows up(you know what I mean right?).

Sounds hard but if you start it you can do it for an hour or two.It is all triggers,multimanagers,beams and more.

I always thought that was a built in effect. Spawning vortigaunts, especially.
