This entity is ZHLT (and VHLT) only.

This entity can act as a replacement for a lights.rad file, in that it simply resides within the map as a point based entity. The usefulness of this is that each map can have its own unique ambient lighting applied to it, and those settings will travel with the map and not affect any other maps.

Usage of the entity is much like that of the multimanager. To add an entry (take smart-edit off if you are using the Valve Hammer Editor/Worldcraft) and add key-value pairs in manually; the key should contain the name of the texture to apply lighting to, and the value a set of numbers representing the red green blue lumionsity(brightness) of the texture, just as you would in the lights.rad file.

The presence of this entity will not override the lights.rad file - both the values specified in this entity and the lights.rad file will be used by HLRAD.

Yeah, but which one takes precedence? If both contains texlight entry for the same texture, which one will be used?

It's worth noting that, as with lights.rad, you can add a fourth value for intensity
e.g.

LIGHT1 150 200 255 2000
