<DIV>Hi.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>how do I move an env_beam?</DIV>

For moving objects, don't use an env_beam, use an env_laser.
Also change the texture of the dock. Docks are rarely tile. -Facepunch

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?

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.
