light_spot help please. Created 19 years ago2004-12-19 13:21:52 UTC by Shad0w

hi, i just started "trying" to map and i read some tutorials. but im having a problem with lighting up an outdoor area, i created a test map with a room leading outside, and tried to use a light_spot entity with "is sky" on, but when i compile the map its completely dark, other than the sky texture, i know im prob doing something totally noobish, but could any1 point me in the right direction?

Check here

The "is sky" setting doesn't really work the way most people believe it does.

ahh, thanks a lot, so if i wanted to light up an outside area, or change the light in the area, how would i?

Light_environment,
light_spot with "is sky" set to no

You can have two light_spot, you know

kk, i'll try the light_environment, thx again Steinin

um ok, i tried my test map, which is just pretty much a room.

With light_environment, and the map was pitch black, but when i compile with no light entities at all, the map is lit up

Can any1 point out where im going wrong?

fixed it, sorry, i'll do more research next time i post
