The missile can be made using a func_door, and the trail is made out of lots of sprites that are triggered at a correct time using a multi_manager system.

Pretty much. For brushwork on the missile itself, it's all cones and cylinders. A func_train might actually be better than a func_wall, because you'll want to teleport it into a room far out of the map proper after it's no longer visible from the control room, so it doesn't just hang in the sky after the sequence is done.

Wow Atom, thats awesome, too bad you had to switch to source, because of restrictions, it looks amazing in HL.

Cant wait to see it finished in Source.
