Light deferred

light_deferred is a point entity available in Alien Swarm Deferred and Lambda Wars.

It creates an invisible dynamic light source that can shine in all directions or only on one side, combining the features of a light and a light_spot. For most optimal light placing use the game's built-in Light editor.

In code, it is represented by theCDeferredLightclass, defined in theCDefLight.cppfile.
