Presence sensor

How do I build in source a "presence" sensor?

What I need is something like this: whenever in the entity volume(was thinking about trigger_multiple, but it triggers not "senses") there is buggy, a light turns on.

[EDIT] Also, why does vvis crashes? :(. There is no sort of sign of the crash, I just open task manager and I see vvis with 0 CPU.

[EDIT2] I set vis to fast vis and it compiles, but now vrad halts!

I'm sick of this. I had this problem too at gm_buildmania and gm_beachplay. It was a "chance to get a compile" case. I don't know what to do, really pisses me off.

Use a filter with your trigger_multiple.

You could name the buggy and use filter_activator_name so just that one buggy activates the sensors, or use a filter_activator_class so any prop_vehicle activates it.

Switch to Source 2007 in the SDK, it's stable. Some of (or all of) the Source 2009 games are still buggy from Valve's awesome updating skills.

You could also use an env_microphone set to listen for the player and activate the light when it hears them. This would also mean the player can sneak by using crouch, however.

Was compiling with Source 2006 :D.

I will try and see if it works, and if it does, try making the sensor with a filter_activator_class.
[EDIT] Just when I began to be happy :|. Now it didn't crash immediately, it worked, and at some point of time vrad.exe crashed(00 at cpu). This begins to get on my nerves, as the map is for source for fucking sake, not goldsource to have this stupid problems. It's even optimized(func_details and such..).
[EDIT2] Recompiled and went outside. Came back... it worked(odd... after all these tries...). But why is my skybox models white? $:\$

Do you have a light_env in the skybox?

Nope.

Might want to try that, and search for leaks and such. Look for irregularities in the compile log.

I'm still getting the white 3D skybox! And I have no leaks, and I placed a light_enviromment(which seems to have a "minimum" lighting no matter how low I set the intensity, and that ruins my ambience, so I'll delete it).

Here's the log:
