Light deferred global

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

It creates real-time shadows and lighting coming from the sun. Similar to env_cascade_light. While this entity can be edited in Hammer, it's preferable to use the games light editor as you can see what you are doing.

In code, it is represented by theCDeferredLightGlobalclass, defined in theCDefLightGlobal.cppfile.

Confirm:Does this entity also exists in Portal 2: Desolation?
