I'm trying to set up trip "wires" to set off turrets, or even just an alarm.

I seem to be having trouble figuring out how to create the beam without using a func_train.

I once made a map with a red laser going in between two "projectors" used a trigger once and put around the laser made it target a multi manager targeting an env_explosion, an env_shake. then made a barney walk into the laser :P but i deleted it :( sorry.

I understand now...

Make the env_laser just the way it should, with a aaatarget entity "trigger_once" wrapped around the "beam"... then use that trigger to set off anything I need it to, like a scripted sentence, sound, explosion, etc.

Am I correct?

Is an env_beam easy to configure and assemble?

Yup. Read about it in the Entity Guide (on the left).

env_beam has no link to it (first entity on the list)

The VERC covers nearly all entities. Here's their env_beam page:

http://collective.valve-erc.com/index.php?ent=env_beam

it covers all the flags and options of the env_beam and has 3 example maps included.

No idea where the env_beam went....
But I have turned it back on in the HLentities.
