Info lighting relative

This entity is obsolete. Its use is discouraged. It may only exist/function in older engine branches.

Template:Base point An entity that allows a model to be lit from a different light origin without affecting the environment around the model. Great for lighting up trees with many lights or doing manual light correction. It is used in d1_trainstation_01, where inside the train car Gordon encounters G-Man.

Deprecated by LightingOrigin keyvalue and SetLightingOrigin input for point entities (these however are not in Valve's FGD by default), use those instead, as they can accept any entity as a lighting origin. This method of lighting most is commonly used with prop_dynamic (See Video Demo Below).

Keyvalues

Lighting Landmark ([todo internal name (i)]) <targetname>

Entity at which the reference origin is contained. If empty, the info_lighting_relative's origin will be used.
