Talk:Info lighting

Doesn't work anymore on the Orange Box engine

As far as I remember, I always used this entity since I'm mapping. When you have a prop's origin in a wall or something, and it's incorrectly lit. But recently, since I'm mapping for Portal, it doesn't seem to work anymore. When I use an info_lighting to change a prop's lighting origin, it says : prop_dynamic: Could not find lighting origin entity named 'door1_origin'!

Fortunately, it still works with info_targets. I believe this is because props are now lit in a somewhat real-time by the engine. Thus, as the info_lighting is removed during the compilation, it doesn't work anymore. Info_targets are not removed in-game, that must be why it works. --NykO18 07:39, 31 Aug 2008 (PDT)

It's probably because in that specific case it's a prop_dynamic. --Terr 20:33, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
