so i did the tuturiol on how to work the light, and i checked for LEAKS, there was no leaks and the light wont change color, and the whole map is floodlit, how do i fix this? and there are no leaks in the map.

Post your compiling log and check for any problems. (map menu-> Check for problems)

It might be because of a melformed face(in the check for problems window it's called: texture paticular to axis)

there was no error on check for problems

First of all get ZHLT. (look at the links page in this site) They are much better compiling tools then quake's tools.

As for your problem: did you post the whole compiling log. If so you forgot to run vis and rad.

Edit#2:

I forgot to write something- Don't use spaces in map/entities names. It's really bad. Instead of the space use underscores- _

Edit:

Don't use capital letters too.

yes that was the whole compile, how do i run vis and rad? im also dl ZHLT.

Which compiling mode do you use? Expert or normal?

normal, and isnt ZHLT for steam only?

No, just use it instead of quake's tool.

If you are using normal then in the window that pops when you press F9 has vis and rad thingies. Choose normal in both of them.(or what ever it is called in there

ok thanks, ill have to try the lights in abit

Update: yeah it worked, its becouse i didnt have rad and vis on thanks alot.
