Same as func_tank but shoots laser instead of bullets. Func_tanklaser is used to represent a mounted cannon which can be controlled by players as well as monsters, if allowed. For either to be able to use this, it must be hooked up to a single func_tankcontrols entity. If you want func_tanklaser to be controllable by player, you need to specify a name of func_tanklaser and use func_tankcontrols entity in addition of this entity. Automatic turret needs "Active" flag enabled. Entity requires origin brush tied to barrel, so it can rotate around it.
