Env sun

Entity Description

Entity Name: env_sun

The env_sun entity creates a sun effect in the sky.

• Effect's position relative to the player is determined by angle; it does not parallax
• 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 may appear somewhat green in-game; change the color to account for this
