== How to make a flare replacement for CS:S ==


'''You will need a few entities:'''

- '''Light'''
  - change the brightness to  "255 0 0 150"

- '''Env_sprite'''
  - Render mode= "World space glow"
  - FX Colour= "255 210 210"
  - Size of glow proxy geometry= 1

- '''Env_Particlelight'''
  - Colour= "255 0 0"
  - Intensity= "1000"
 
- '''Env_Steam'''
  - Name= "Steam1"
  - Change the angles to "Up"
  - Initial state= "On"
  - Spread speed= "2.5"
  - Speed= "22"
  - Particle size start= "1"
  - Particle end size= "3"
  - Emission rate= "26"
  - Length of steam jet= "25"
  - Translucency= "140"
  - 
- '''Prop Static'''
  - World model= "models/weapons/flare.mdl"



First position the flare however you like (laying on the floor somewhere), now center the; light, env_sprite and 
env_particlelight as close as possible to one end of the "Prop static". Then center your Env_steam over the flare with minimal 
ground clearance. Now just group everything together and you should have a decent replacement for an Env_Flare =]!

Comment by SM Sith Lord:
Thank you *very* much for this CSS replacement to the env_flare entity. I couldn't find any tutorials on how to represent a flare in CSS. Google didn't even turn up this tutorial. I just took a chance and went into the Discussion tab for env_flare. You should post this on FPSBanana, or other tutorial sites.

Possibly old news, but this: ''"This entity is derived from CBaseCombatCharacter and can have relationships defined towards it"'' means that flares cannot penetrate [[Tool_textures| npc_clips]].--[[User:Fitzroy doll|Fitzroy doll]] 05:11, 20 Nov 2008 (PST)

Does anyone know what entity is required to make the flares seen in Episode 1, the ones wich you can pick up and use as a light source and that set zombies on fire? --[[User:The Blazer|The Blazer]] 04:11, 8 January 2012 (PST)

Use a env_flare and parent it to the model, then make a output on the model "OnPhysgunPickup" and start the flare.
