light problem Created 19 years ago2005-01-12 23:41:52 UTC by guy

when I place light_spot or light_dynamic in my map it only lights up models not brushes.

Check the compile log and post it.

You have to use a light entity

Light_dynamic is used to lights that swing
Point_spotlight is a small light
