NewLights_settings
Contents
NewLights_settings is a point entity available in 
Black Mesa. This entity uses to dynamically change some lighting settings for newLight_Spot and newLight_Point.
Tip:You can change values dynamically via AddOutput input.Keyvalues
- Name
(targetname)<string> - The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g.
parentnameortarget).
Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report.See also: Generic Keyvalues, Inputs and Outputs available to all entities
- TargetNewLightEntity_Name
(TargetNewLightEntity)<string> - Target Light Entity name
Here you enter name of new light source for which you want to apply changes. Works with multiple lights if they have the same name.
- TransitionTime
(TransitionTime)<integer> - Transition time in seconds ( 0 for instant ) to transition into new settings. Its a lerp operation A + (B-A)*TimeFactor.
- LightType
(LightType)<choices> - Type of light source for which you want to apply settings. Entity will not apply settings for spot lights if selected
Point Lightand will not apply settings for point lights if selectedSpot Light.
- 0: Point Light
- 1: Spot Light
- Enabled
(Enabled)<integer> - Light Enabled or Disabled
Determines whether target will be turned on or turned off after TransitionTime.
- Light Ambient Color
(LightColorAmbient)<color255> - This is the ambient color of the sunlight.
Determines color of shadows that light source creates.
