Length of prop_tractor_beam
Hi All,
I have come across a length limit for the tractor beam, I admit I am making it travel quite a bit but I wanted to see if this is normal or if there is something wrong. Also is there a way to extend it?
This is what I'm seeing:

NEUROTOXIN.
uff, I dont know how many distance does the funnel but I think that you can make an alternative to not travel too long. I think there is one thing wrong in your map, like the appearing laser bug.
It looks like it's hitting a black surface there.
Please do not Private Message me for assistance. Post a thread if you have questions or concerns.
If you need to contact the staff privately, contact the Global Moderators via Discord.
I have seen it travel much furthur then that.

If you have an invisible wall it will hit it. The same for a lightbridge. Try using playerclip/clip/clipvphysics if you just want to block a certain object.
What about lasers? how do i stop them? invisble brushes won't work but i do need something invisible to stop it.
Sorry for hijacking the subject a bit... but i didn't want to make a whole new topic about it.

So a small invisible textured block doesn't stop a laser?
EDIT: This would look a little unrealistic, and maybe frustrate the player if it is used in the wrong spot. Can you explain why you want to stop the laser half way?

Stops pretty much everything except lasers :S and i also have a brush with 1 side glass texture (with wire mesh in it) infront of it but that also doesnt stop it. (i can swear i've seen a custom map where the glass stopped a laser.)
Perhaps the laser uses some kind of value in the .vmt to decide if it can go through a wall. Might want to open the glass texture and have a look.
The glass could have been a prop.
