Template:Base point It defines the direction, color and attenuation distance of the dynamic shadows created by light_environment for the entire map.
Note:Since Template:Game name, shadow direction can be determined by local lights instead of a global value. See below for more details. Confirm:Obsolete in Template:Game name? Possibly replaced by env_cascade_light.Keyvalues
- Shadow Color (color) <color255>
- This is the color of the shadows.
- Maximum Distance (distance) <float>
- This is the maximum distance the shadow is allowed to cast, in inches.
Tip:Shortening this distance can be used to approximate the effects of diffuse lighting.
- All Shadows Disabled (disableallshadows) <boolean>
- Disable shadows entirely.
- Enable Local Light Shadows (enableshadowsfromlocallights) <boolean> (in all games since
) (also in 
) - Enable shadow direction to be calculated on a per-entity basis and to be dictated by the light closest to the entity.
- Note:This keyvalue may not be available in some FGDs.
Code:There is a custom version of this feature which could run on previous versions of Source. Click here for more information.- Tip:Pitch is the sun's angle of elevation from the ground, and yaw is its compass bearing.
Inputs
- color <color255>
- Set the shadow color.
- direction <vector>
- Set the shadow direction.
- SetDistance <float>
- Set the maximum shadow cast distance.
- SetAngles <string>
- Set the shadow direction.
- SetShadowsDisabled <integer>
- Set shadows disabled state.
- SetShadowsFromLocalLightsEnabled <integer> (in all games since ) (also in )
- Set local light shadows enabled state.
- Note:This input may not be available in some FGDs.
