Key values

Blank image.pngTodo: Document _diffuse_light and _spread, added with ZHLT.
Pitch <angle>
Overrides the pitch value in Angles, even if left at 0, so it needs to be specified. Contrary to Angles, the rotation of this pitch is measured counter-clockwise from the horizontal, so that 90 is straight up, while -90 is straight down. (It's simply the negative of a normal pitch value.)
Brightness <color255 + int>
Color and brightness of direct Sunlight.

Targetname:
Name (targetname) <targetname>

Angles:

This entity's orientation in the world. Pitch is rotation around the Y axis, yaw is the rotation around the Z axis, roll is the rotation around the X axis.

ZHLT Point:

ZHLT Falloff <integer>
