Env sun

Entity Description

Places a sun effect in the sky. Does not contribute any actual lighting - this entity is best used in conjunction with a light_environment.

• Effect's position relative to the player is determined by angle; it does not parallax so gives the effect of the sun being infinitely far away.
• 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.
