{{wrongtitle|title=env_sun}} {{base_point}} == Entity description == Places a Sun or Moon effect (glow sprite) in the [[skybox]] where it does not parallax, giving the impression that it is infinitely far away. The env_sun Entity does not contribute any actual lighting. {{map_properties}} {{skybox_lighting}} * You can also send inputs to the env_sun entity by directing them to "env_sun" instead of using a target name. * The effect is additive with the sky: a pure yellow sun with a bright blue sky will appear white in-game; change the color to account for this. == Keyvalues == * {{KV Targetname}} *{{KV Angles}} * '''target''' : <target_destination> Name of an entity used to determine where the sun is in the skybox. The sun should be lined up on a line from this entity to the env_sun entity. *{{KV HDRColorScale}} * '''use_angles''' : {{boolean}} The old way to orient env_sun is to point it at a target. The new way is to specify the angles. If you use the new way, set this property to YES, otherwise, set this property to NO. * '''pitch''' : <integer> The pitch of this entity. 90 is straight up, -90 is straight down. {{warning|Unfortunately Valve introduced a ''Pitch override'' parameter to the [[light_environment]] and [[env_sun]] entities, but not to [[shadow_control]]. Even more unfortunately, the ''Pitch override'' cannot be switched off and its rotation is measured counter-clockwise from the horizontal (so straight down is -90&deg;) whereas the ''<angles> Pitch'' is rotation is clockwise (so straight down is +90&deg;). The workaround for this is to make sure your ''Pitch override'' merely repeats the ''<angles>'' value; for example, if your [[shadow_control]], [[light_environment]] and [[env_sun]] ''<angles>'' are "45 -60 0" set the ''Pitch override'' to "-45".}} * '''rendercolor''' : {{color}} Color of the sun. * '''size''' : <integer> Size of the sun. * '''{{EP1 add|overlaycolor}} : {{color}} Overlay Color (R G B) : A value of 0 0 0 will act the old way. * '''{{EP1 add|overlaysize}}''' : <integer> Overlay Size : A value of -1 means the overlay will act the old way. * '''{{EP1 add|material}}''' : <material> Material Name : Material of the inner glow. (sprites/light_glow02_add_noz) * '''{{EP1 add|overlaymaterial}}''' : <material> Overlay Material Name : Material of the overlay glow. (sprites/light_glow02_add_noz) == Inputs == * {{Not in FGD}}: :{| class=standard-table | * {{I Targetname}} |} * '''TurnOn''' : Enable sun rendering. * '''TurnOff''' : Disable sun rendering. * '''SetColor {{color}}''' : Set the rendercolor. == Outputs == * {{Not in FGD}} {{O Targetname}} [[Category:Entities]]
