UPDATED

This map has been updated to EXCLUDE a laser partition between cells.

Give it a try! Try walking into the cell before turning off the laser beams... ROFL

Once you turn it off, then walk in.

Creating a texture that looks like a laser wall...

If you stick to beams, you have to create 24 env_beams. Believe me, 24 entities is few. In some occasions, I use well over a 100, sometimes nearly 200. And I know of people that like to use even more (for even more complex situations).

That doesn;t explain how to organize them so I caan continue working on my map. Can the be OUTSIDE the walls in the map? I can place them on the respective side that the cell is on.

The env_beams can be placed anywhere as long as they're inside the map. Only the position of their start and end points decides where the beam shows up.

Nicely done. Works well.

Although I think thinner, more subtle lasers look better. But that's up to you.

I could swear I put a thin meaurement to them - will run the map again later to check it out.

You should see the number of breakable panes of glass I put in a map... it's ridiculous. Over 100.
