Overview
The Beam Receiver is a component that can detect an optical (laser) beam emitted by a Beam Emitter.
...
A Beam Emitter projecting its beam onto a Beam Receiver (left) and a Beam Reflector (right)
...
Where to find
The Beam Receiver Physical and Logic components can be found under Standard Components > Beam Sensor > Receiver.
...
| Note |

A new GameObject will be created if you do not have a GameObject selected. Otherwise, the Beam Receiver will be added to the selected GameObject |

How to use
Assign a Beam Receiver physical component to a GameObject, or create a new one directly from the menu
Create the desired signal events under the Properties tab
In order to detect a beam, a Beam Emitter must also be created
Direct the beam from the Beam Emitter at the Beam Receiver
Objects with a Collider will interrupt the beam, changing the signal value of the Beam Receiver
