How do you make this entity parented to a moving object ? There's a ''parent'' field, but it doesn't follow the moving object at all. The light just stay where it was turned on, and never follow it's parent until it is turned off and on again (then it appears at the same level than its parent, but don't move). --[[User:NykO18|NykO18]] 15:38, 28 Aug 2008 (PDT) | How do you make this entity parented to a moving object ?

Mysterious Inputs
*; target <entity> : Specify a new <target_desination> entity.
*; cameraspace <bool> : See above keyvalues.
*; LightOnlyTarget <bool> : See above keyvalues. : {bug|Non-functional.}}
*; LightWorld <bool> : See above keyvalues. : {bug|Cannot be re-enabled.}}
*; EnableShadows <bool> : See above keyvalues.
*; Ambient <float>
*; SpotlightTexture <VTF/string> :A VTF file (not VMT), relative to /models.
These inputs are not specified in base.fgd ... have they been removed? I've commented them out of the article for now. --Beeswax 16:09, 13 Apr 2008 (PDT)
- They've never been in the FGD, but they are all in the source code. --TomEdwards 01:22, 14 Apr 2008 (PDT)
- Thought it might be something like that ... thanks. I did try (in EP2) to test by firing the SpotlightTexture from a custom logic_auto output but I couldn't get it to work ... Any tips would be appreciated as this seems like the most exciting feature. --Beeswax 07:11, 14 Apr 2008 (PDT)
- Make sure you're point it to a VTF, not a VMT. --TomEdwards 09:05, 14 Apr 2008 (PDT)
- Yeah I read that in the article. Have you ever got it working ? --Beeswax 17:56, 14 Apr 2008 (PDT)
- I've never not had it work... --TomEdwards 04:31, 15 Apr 2008 (PDT)

Player Parenting
How do you parent this entity to the Player? I tried various Targetname tokens (!player, etc) as parentname but it didn't like any of them ... --Beeswax 07:11, 14 Apr 2008 (PDT)
- You need to enable the camera space value, I think. Never actually tried it myself. --TomEdwards 09:05, 14 Apr 2008 (PDT)
Light attenuation?
Seems there is also ways to change the Light's constant values and such, while hidden in the .cpp file. Yet you'll need a coder to help bring em out, and appear in hammer, and be accepted in game, however it seems that this entity also has these values built in as well.--Gear 01:00, 9 Aug 2008 (PDT)
Moving Object Parenting
How do you make this entity parented to a moving object ? There's a parent field, but it doesn't follow the moving object at all. The light just stay where it was turned on, and never follow it's parent until it is turned off and on again (then it appears at the same level than its parent, but don't move). --NykO18 15:38, 28 Aug 2008 (PDT)
- I have updated the article with several bug fixes including the one for this particular problem. As of now, you can only parent this entity in a mod that incorporates these fixes. Yatar 19:49, 7 Nov 2008 (PST)
