So basiclly, my problem is that the callback in this code is only fired once. I need it to be called for every frame for every touch in order to play a sound when a player touches the 'beam'.

PHP Code:

HookSingleEntityOutput(iEnt, "OnTouchedByEntity", MineLaser_OnTouch, false); 


Think code from [Here]

SDK env_beam think code

PHP Code:

void CEnvBeam::UpdateThink( void )
{
    // Apply damage every 1/10th of a second.
    if ( ( m_flDamage > 0 ) && ( gpGlobals->curtime >= m_flFireTime + 0.1 ) )
    {
        trace_t tr;
        UTIL_TraceLine( GetAbsStartPos(), GetAbsEndPos(), MASK_SOLID, NULL, COLLISION_GROUP_NONE, &tr );
        BeamDamage( &tr );
        // BeamDamage calls RelinkBeam, so no need to call it again.
    }
    else
    {
        RelinkBeam();
    }

    if( m_TouchType != touch_none )
    {
        trace_t tr;
        Ray_t ray;
        ray.Init( GetAbsStartPos(), GetAbsEndPos() );

        if( m_TouchType == touch_player_or_npc_or_physicsprop )
        {
            CTraceFilterPlayersNPCsPhysicsProps traceFilter;
            enginetrace->TraceRay( ray, MASK_SHOT, &traceFilter, &tr );
        }
        else
        {
            CTraceFilterPlayersNPCs traceFilter;
            enginetrace->TraceRay( ray, MASK_SHOT, &traceFilter, &tr );
        }

        if( tr.fraction != 1.0 && PassesTouchFilters( tr.m_pEnt ) )
        {
            m_OnTouchedByEntity.FireOutput( tr.m_pEnt, this, 0 );
            return;
        }
    }

    SetNextThink( gpGlobals->curtime );
} 


As you can see, the part that messes up with the (next) think is this

        if( tr.fraction != 1.0 && PassesTouchFilters( tr.m_pEnt ) ) 
        { 
            m_OnTouchedByEntity.FireOutput( tr.m_pEnt, this, 0 ); 
            return; 
        }

Things I have tried:
I have tried to set the next think time using the following code:

PHP Code:

SetEntProp(iEnt, Prop_Data, "m_nNextThinkTick", GetGameTickCount()); 


I have also tried to reassign the TouchType value using DispatchKeyValue in MineLaser_OnTouch, but with no luck.

My plugin's code in case you're intrested

PHP Code:

// How I create the beam:
int CreateLaser(Float:start[3], Float:end[3])
{
    new ent = CreateEntityByName("env_beam");

    if (ent != -1)
    {
        TeleportEntity(ent, start, NULL_VECTOR, NULL_VECTOR);
        SetEntityModel(ent, MODEL_BEAM); // This is where you would put the texture, ie "sprites/laser.vmt" or whatever.
        SetEntPropVector(ent, Prop_Data, "m_vecEndPos", end);
        DispatchKeyValue(ent, "targetname", g_szMineLaserTargetName);
        DispatchKeyValue(ent, "rendercolor", g_szMineLaserColor);
        DispatchKeyValue(ent, "renderamt", "67");
        DispatchKeyValue(ent, "decalname", "Bigshot");
        DispatchKeyValue(ent, "life", "0");
        DispatchKeyValue(ent, "TouchType", "0");
        DispatchSpawn(ent);
        SetEntPropFloat(ent, Prop_Data, "m_fWidth", 1.0);
        SetEntPropFloat(ent, Prop_Data, "m_fEndWidth", 1.0);

        DispatchKeyValue(ent_laser, "TouchType", "4");
        DispatchKeyValue(ent_laser, "renderamt", "255");
        
        ActivateEntity(ent);
        AcceptEntityInput(ent, "TurnOn");
    }
    
    return ent;
}

public void MineLaser_OnTouch(const char[] output, int iEnt, int iActivator, float delay)
//public Action SDKCallback_TouchPost_MineLaser(int iEnt, int iActivator)
{
    PrintToServer("Touch");
    //SetEntProp(iEnt, Prop_Data, "m_TouchType", 4);
    
    //HookSingleEntityOutput(iEnt, "OnTouchedByEntity", MineLaser_OnTouch, false);
    //SetEntProp(iEnt, Prop_Data, "m_nNextThinkTick", GetGameTickCount());
    
    char szTargetName[32];
    GetEntPropString(iEnt, Prop_Data, "m_iName", szTargetName, sizeof szTargetName);
    
    if(!StrEqual(szTargetName, g_szMineLaserTargetName))
    {
        PrintToServer("Fail #1");
        return;
    }

    if (!IsPlayer(iActivator))
    {
        PrintToServer("Fail #2");
        return;
    }
    
    if (!IsPlayerAlive(iActivator))
    {
        PrintToServer("Fail #3");
        return;
    }
    
    float vOrigin[3];
    GetClientAbsOrigin(iActivator, vOrigin);
    EmitSoundToAll(g_szMineLaserTouchSound, iActivator);
    
    PrintToServer("Touch Sound played");
} 


Any ideas?
