Probably could of been described better but in Maintenance in Hera where that engine thing is, it has these "Power Surges" of "electricity" and I was wondering how to do this. I think it has something to do with the old HL entity; env_laser. Is that correct? If so, or if not so, how do I make these little power surges. [/nub]

im pretty sure its done with a particle system, just set to fire upwards and with a short lifespan (might be very wrong, but thats how i wud go around trying it

A problem with a hl entity? collective v-erc [env_laser] is your friend.

set the generation slightly higher than the maximum live particles so that particular PS will generate in bursts. Than all you have to do is find a sprite and the direction you want.
