Does anyone know is it possible to change Discouragement beam width somehow? I'm pretty sure I've seen different width lasers in custom maps and official maps. :confused:

You can either use this http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Env_laser or this http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Env_beam for different laser effects.

It isn't possible to have different colored lasers in a single map going to different targets. I am working on a proposal for valve for a method of making such things possible for mappers, but with our current tools it is impossible.
Also: With regards to laser thickness I think that I remember seeing something about it being affected by your compile rendering options. I think the valve maps use high definition or some such thing, which makes the lasers look different.
