env_glow

GoldSrc

Source Engine

env_glow is a point entity available in all GoldSrc games. The env_glow entity is much like the env_sprite in that it places a sprite within the map. The only differences seem to be that the env_glow does not animate its sprite, it cannot be triggered, and that it lacks some of the options that the env_sprite has.
