env_lightglow is a point entity available in all 
Source games. It puts an additive glow in the world, mostly used over light sources and other locations where a glow would look natural (tunnels, caves, dark buildings, etc). It's main difference from env_sprite is it's ability to appear in a configurable distance.
Note:This entity does not have Enable/Disable inputs. Using the Color input with a parameter of 0 0 0 will hide it, as a workaround.Note:This file will be cached inside of saves, regardless of if the map has had the entity deleted in a new compile.Flags
- Visible only from front : [1]
Keyvalues
- Name (targetname) <string>[ Edit ]
- The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g.
parentnameortarget).
Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report.See also: Generic Keyvalues, Inputs and Outputs available to all entities
- Color (R G B) (rendercolor) <color255>
- Glow color.
- Vertical Size (VerticalGlowSize) <integer>
- Vertical glow size in units.
- Horizontal Size (HorizontalGlowSize) <integer>
- Horizontal glow size in units.
- Minimum Distance (MinDist) <integer>
- The distance at which this effect will be fully translucent.
- Maximum Distance (MaxDist) <integer>
- The distance at which this effect will be at full intensity.
- Outer Maximum Distance (OuterMaxDist) <integer>
- If larger than the maximum distance, this is the length at which the glow will fade completely out, between the span of the maximum distance and this length.
- Glow Proxy Geometry Size (0-64) (GlowProxySize) <float>
- Size of the glow to be rendered for visibility testing. Any time a sphere of this radius would be visible (poking through any nearby geometry), the glow will be rendered.
- HDR color scale (HDRColorScale) <float>
- Color multiplier for players using HDR.
Inputs
- Color <color255>
- Change the render color of the glow. A value of 0 0 0 will hide the sprite.
