newxog_settings in Black Mesa: Improved Xen. You can see here how xog gradually turn green and more more intense.

Keyvalues

TargetNewXOGEntity_Name (targetnewlightentity) <targetname>

Target name of xog entity for which settings will be applied.

TransitionTime (transitiontime) <integer>

Transition time in seconds ( 0 for instant ) to transition into new settings. Its a lerp operation A + (B-A)*TimeFactor.

Enabled (Enabled) <choices>

Determines whether target will be turned on or turned off after TransitionTime.

• 0: Enabled
• 1: Disabled
