Entity Description

A cone-shaped, invisible light source. Can be turned on and off through inputs, though switchable lights may cause lightmap errors. This is a static spotlight that can be pointed at another entity.
 Note: When using this entity, it is often necessary to turn the brightness value up significantly for the effects of the light to be visible. Values of 3000-4000 are sometimes necessary for light sources like streetlights.


Keyvalues

<target_source> The name that other entities refer to this entity by. The targetname value for a spotlight will point the light at the entity named. If no targetname is available, the entity will point with it's angles paramater.
<angle> This entity's angular orientation in the world (also used for angular effect entities). This will control the direction the light points at, if no targetname is specified.
<integer> This is the inner focus of the light, or the edge of the brightest part of the light. It will fade from here out to the
<integer>
<color255 & integer> The color and brightness of the light. RGB colors need to be between 0 and 255. Brightness can be higher.
<choices> A preset pattern of diverse flicker effects.
Literal Value Description
0 Normal
1 Flicker A
2 Slow, strong pulse
3 Candle A
4 Fast strobe
5 Gentle pulse
6 Flicker B
7 Candle B
8 Candle C
9 Slow strobe
10 Fluorescent flicker
11 Slow pulse, noblack
 Note: Applies only to light entities with targetname set.
<string> A string of characters defining a custom pattern, a being most dark and z being most bright.
 Note: Applies only to light entities with targetname set.
<float> Brightens or dims the intensity of the light near its entity. A high constant will dim the light.
<float> Brightens or dims the intensity of the light emitted. A high linear will dim the light.
<float> Decrease to make the light travel farther. Default is 1, ranges are 0 to 1.
<integer> Stops the light emitted from reaching beyond this distance. Useful in cutting down compiling time by not making lights extend infinitely.
<color255> BrightnessHDR
<float> 50 percent falloff distance
Distance at which brightness should fall off to 50%. If set, overrides linear constant and quadratic paramaters.
<float> 0 percent falloff distance
Distance at which brightness should fall off to negligible (1/256)%. Must set _fifty_percent_distance to use.

Flags
