Light origin target Created 19 years ago2004-08-24 21:53:00 UTC by [VDC] Rad Brad

I have seen something on this once, but I don't remember what it does. I think it can be set either 0 (default) or 1. I think it makes the object act in conjunction with a light_spot as if it were an info_null. True? False? More?

The Light Origin key is another, slightly more complicated matter. With this key, you can change the lightmaps on almost any brush entity without actualy moving the entity anywhere. For example, you can make a crate look pitch dark in a very bright room, and vice versa, with Light Origin. Basically, you put an info on a wall and give it a unique name. In the Light Origin key for the brush entity, write in the name of the info_null. Now, in the game, the brush entity will be lit as if it were at the info_null's location.

Consult the ZHLT documentation for further info on these keys.

Huhn.... I couldn't find it on VERC. Thanks.

that's not the same as creating a custom lighting strobe, with letters, is it....

WOOHOO! A new thing rather than yet another repeated question!!!!1

To find: go to VERC, message boards (which are chatbear), half-life mapping and search.

I was looking for "Light origin target" in my searches, not light origin.

On the VERC screen, click "message board" on the splash at the top. Takes you to a I agree/I don't agree page, then on to chatbear.

In chatbear, goto Half-Life mapping and search for "light origin," with the quotation marks!

I didn't find anything for light origin target, either. I just shortened it to see what would happen. Voila. [voila = ta-da to mindoze users]
