Entity Description

A cone-shaped, invisible light source. Can be turned on and off through inputs, though switchable lights may cause lightmap errors. This is a static spotlight that can be pointed at another entity.

NOTE: When using this entity, it is often necessary to turn the brightness value up significantly for the effects of the light to be visible. Values of 3000-4000 are sometimes necessary for light sources like streetlights.

Keyvalues

  • Template:Kv targetname The targetname value for a spotlight will point the light at the entity named. If no targetname is available, the entity will point with it's angles paramater.
  • Template:Kv angles This will control the direction the light points at, if no targetname is specified.
  • _inner_cone
<integer> This is the inner focus of the light, or the edge of the brightest part of the light. It will fade from here out to the
  • _cone
<integer>

Flags

  • 1 : Initially Off

Inputs

  • TurnOn
Turns the light on.
  • TurnOff
Turns the light off.
  • Toggle
Toggles the light on or off.
  • SetPattern
Sets the light's custom appearance to the input's parameters.
  • FadeToPattern
Fades from the light's old pattern to the new one.
