* [[light]]
==Entity Description==
 
An invisible light source. Can be turned on and off through inputs.
The '''light''' entity is very basic but yet essential to almost every map.
 
==Entity Values==
===Keys===
 
* '''Name''' ''targetname <target_source>''
: The name of this entity. Allows other entities in the map to trigger this one.
 
* '''Brightnes''' ''red green blue brightness''
: The color and brightness of the light. RGB colors need to be between 0 and 255. Brightness can be higher.
 
* '''Appearance''' ''<choose a style>''
: A preset pattern of diverse flicker effects.
 
* '''Custom Appearance''' ''Example: azazazaz''
: A string of characters defining a custom pattern, '''a''' being most dark and '''z''' being most bright. Above example would be a stobe light.
 
* '''Constant'''
: Brightens or dims the intensity of the light near its entity. A '''high constant''' will dim the light.
 
* '''Linear'''
: Similar to '''Constant''' but affects all distances.
 
* '''Quadratic'''
