Basic Light

  • To create a light right click on the grid and go to "light".
  • If your light is too small or too big you can open the entity editor with "n" and type in the Key / Value of radius / ###.


Primary Lights

First create a normal light as explained above. Then in the entity editor "n" click on the check box for PRIMARY_OMNI.

  • For any primary light we need a null entity connected to the light to tell the game what direction to cast shadows in.

Right click on the grid and go to "info -> null". Place this under your light. Connect the light to the null entity.

  • Select the light THEN select null, press "w" to connect.
