Actually, sound and light are two totally different things. Sound is
pressure, and light is a photon. With the spectrum being a measure of
frequency, sound and light can fit into the same spectrum, even the same
areas.

spectrum.
Not quite. Wireless coms use Radio waves, which are an electromagnetic
wave. Sound is not an electromagnetic wave ;)

You'd just need to modify it. It'd work much better - especially since

I have thought about that too - sound or light are both waves, albeit in
different areas of the spectrum. Actors can react to both, I think. Can I
have
sound without actually having anything heard? ultrasound or something? :)
possibly, why

Where do I see those? AFAICT, hound eyes are not in HL2.

Learn the particle system inside out and you should be able to pull this one
off. When your little entity does the take damage func spawn a system to
have some pretty explosion looking effect. Other than that I think you are a
madman and wish you
Fun concept. You'll probably be better off creating your own entity and
creating your own method for hit-testing, overlap, etc. The OnTakeDamage and
CEntitySphereQuery are pretty limited in the fact that it'd be harder to
calculate world (i.e. walls) disrupting the radio wave. You'd probably do

If you haven't done so go check out Darwinia. It's got various little
particle things that are kind of cool in a cyber space way.

You also have Natural Selections scan area effect,
that i spose is based on the hound eye shockwave.
