Help with a visual effect

*spoilers*















Hi, remember those energy pillars with the balls running up them in the citadel? well I need an effect rather like that and was wondering how on earth it was done, if anybody has any ideas then it'd be much appreciated.

What I'm going for is a big glass tube with beams/lightning goin up it's length and those dark matter balls things that you can grab with the physgun (I dont want to make them grabbable so dont worry about how to do that),

Thanks in advance for any helpful replies,

IIRC there's a special entity for the ball up/down thingy

the other effects, beams and laser entities should do.
