On that note: to use the CMake version of Half-Life Updated you currently have to build the INSTALL target to deploy the libraries, which might be a bit cumbersome and annoying.

if ( condition )
   result = a;
else

lighting.plightvec = dir;
// After StudioDynamicLight is called, lighting is initialised
IEngineStudio.StudioDynamicLight(m_pCurrentEntity, &lighting );

// We can then begin changing it around

// The rest will apply the lighting onto the model

This scientist is afraid of his own brightness

"I somehow couldn't find a link to it."

"the spawned func_train didn't do what you think spawned func_trains are supposed to do – to immediately teleport to its first stop target"

Move train to the "origin" keyvalue

Move train to the target path_corner, align it to the bounding box centre tho'

"it's already started..."

• according to the HL SDK code, the train explicitly sets its position as the centre of its bounding box
• according to VHLT code, origin brushes do not count towards the bounding box
