Light Color (LightColor) <color255>

The RGB color of the light. Colors must be between 0 and 255.

Light Intensity (Intensity) <float>

Intensity/brightness of the light. It's RGB * intensity.

Note:With 0 it will make the light disabled, including the effects. Doesn't affect shadows.

Range (Range) <float>

Range of the light, or how far the light source can illuminate. Measured in Hammer Units.

Warning:This is one of the parameters that affects performance in the game. Smaller values ​​allow you to process less geometry and save performance.

Important:Range is limited, the limit depends on intensity value. Do not use values ​​bigger than the intensity value allows.

Examples

Range - 50 Range - 1000 Range - 15000

Enabled (Enabled) <choices>

Sets light state on spawn, enabled or disabled.

• 0: Enabled
• 1: Disabled

Appearance (style) <integer choices>

Appearance presets.

Lightstyle presets (epilepsy warning)

Literal Value	Description	Sequence	Preview
0	Normal	m

6	Flicker B	nmonqnmomnmomomno
3	Candle A	mmmmmaaaaammmmmaaaaaabcdefgabcdefg
7	Candle B	mmmaaaabcdefgmmmmaaaammmaamm
8	Candle C	mmmaaammmaaammmabcdefaaaammmmabcdefmmmaaaa
4	Fast strobe	mamamamamama
9	Slow strobe	aaaaaaaazzzzzzzz
12	Underwater light mutation	mmnnmmnnnmmnn

Tip:Use new lights instead for lights with custom appearance, because static lightmapped lights reduces performance with this feature (especially near displacements).

Note:Custom light styles are not possible.

Light Ambient Color (LightColorAmbient) <color255>

The RGB color of the shadows. Colors must be between 0 and 255.

Examples

0 0 0 0 0 255 255 168 168

SpecularMultiplier (SpecMultiplier) <float>

Specular multiplier. Sets intensity of new specular shader from this light source. It's RGB * Intensity * SpecularMultiplier. 0 means disabled.

Examples

0.5 1 2

falloffConstant (falloffConstant) <integer> !FGD 

Deprecated.
Constant value (can work only if old falloff is enabled).

falloffLinear (falloffLinear) <integer> !FGD 

Deprecated.
Linear value (can work only if old falloff is enabled).

falloffQuadratic (falloffQuadratic) <integer> !FGD 

Deprecated.
Quadratic value (can work only if old falloff is enabled).

OuterAngle (phi) <float>

Outer angle for spot light.

Bug:Static shadowmaps will be broken after changing outer angle value via newLights_settings entity. Don't change this value on Static and Stationary light type.

InnerAngle (theta) <float>

Inner angle value for spot light.

AngularFallOff (angularFallOff) <float>

Angular falloff value.

Examples

Note:Results depend on values of OuterAngle and InnerAngle. AngularFallOff - 1 (OuterAngle - 60, InnerAngle - 30) AngularFallOff - 30 (OuterAngle - 60, InnerAngle - 30) AngularFallOff - 60 (OuterAngle - 60, InnerAngle - 30)

Bug:For some reason, changing value here for Stationary light type via newLights_settings will make your shadows look broken. It looks fine for Static and Dynamic light type.

Example

Before applying settings. AngularFallOff - 0. After applying settings. AngularFallOff - 5.
