Fake lighing using a 1-unit-thick func_wall_toggle 'covering' 'round all the walls, floor, ceiling, and lamps.

Just flip the swtich to turn on/off.

You can make the room dark as pitch, by setting func_wall_toggle's 'fx amount' to 245-250.

Might be able to use this in concert with other methods, to achieve dynamic lighitng effects.

Sorry, but why would you want to use this if you can already just toggle a light on and off?

Um, how 'bout on a brush-based entity, that comes up fullbright? Or does ZHLT light flags do that already--I'm pretty new at lighting, 'cause usually 'am too impatient to run HLrad. :0

Played around with the light flags and found they crash hlrad. found an old thead that informed me this is a known bug with the newest compile tools.

So I guess this might be useful to make something 'look' opaque, after-all.
