I have a forruner like structure and I see beams coming out of them on other peoples maps. I have never done it before so is it a scenery or somthing to make that big blue beam?

the blue beam, if i remember correctlly is a device_machine, all you have to do is spawn it and select it like scenery (not as easy for other device_machines)

it is a long circle. with a teleporter type bitmap on it so it would look animated. but its built in the bsp.

Its a device_machine in tags\levels\a30\devices\beam emitter
you can also get a red one from tags\levels\test\infinity\devices\beam emitter red

Don't post if you don't know what your talking about. It's a device machine like the person above said.

.. i can extract bsps with no errors and its built in to gephyrophibia or however you spell it

You're probably thinking of the wrong thing. What the OP was thinking of was the red and blue beams fired from beam structures in a30 and many MP maps. Those are device_machines, and aren't built into the BSP.

It may be built in on some maps but it's available as a tag like Megaguirus said. Does Gephyrophobia even have beam emitters? (And yes, that's how you spell Gephyrophobia.)

If it does then I never noticed them since I'm usually busy headshoting people.

he's talking about the translucent textures. light ropes or some shiz

Ah, ok. You just gave me a new idea to model out .
