Liquid texture is bright in the dark? Created 12 years ago2012-11-15 04:43:47 UTC by poorboy22

It's a custom texture. It's supposed to be unseen in the dark and only seen when light is present (like a flashlight or light being switched on.) but the texture is bright red, even in total darkness. (it's a blood texture, for water)

How can I fix this? (Goldsrc, VHE 3.5, HL1)

As far as I know there is no proper way to do this. Your best bet would be to either give the texture a high transparency value, or if you want it to be opaque, setting the water itself to be invisible and then adding a func_illusionary with the blood texture on top.

Just as an idea, wouldn't making that water texture a texlight fix this problem ? I mean turning the brightness down. If not you could at least light up the surroundings.

If u want a dynamic lightmap for flashlight then as TJB said the only way is fucking_illusionary
