env_lightglow

Point Entity

An entity that puts an additive glow in the world, mostly used over light sources.

Keyvalues

  • Entity Scripts (vscripts) <ScriptList>
    Name(s) of script files that are executed after all entities have spawned.

  • Name (targetname) <TargetSource>
    The name that other entities refer to this entity by.

  • Parent (parentname) <TargetDestination>
    The name of this entity's parent in the movement hierarchy. Entities with parents move with their parent.

  • Parent Model Bone/Attachment Name (parentAttachmentName) <ParentAttachment>
    The name of the bone or attachment to attach to on the entity's parent in the movement hierarchy. Use !bonemerge to use bone-merge style attachment.

  • Model Attachment position offset (local.origin) <Vector>
    Offset in the local space of the parent model's attachment/bone to use in hierarchy. Not used if you are not using parent attachment.

  • Model Attachment angular offset (local.angles) <Angle>
    Angular offset in the local space of the parent model's attachment/bone to use in hierarchy. Not used if you are not using parent attachment.

  • Model Attachment scale (local.scales) <Vector>
    Scale in the local space of the parent model's attachment/bone to use in hierarchy. Not used if you are not using parent attachment.

  • Use Model Attachment Offset (useLocalOffset) <Boolean>
    Whether to respect the specified local offset when doing the initial hierarchical attachment to its parent.

  • Color (R G B) (rendercolor) <Color255>

  • Vertical Size (VerticalGlowSize) <Integer>

  • Horizontal Size (HorizontalGlowSize) <Integer>

  • Minimum Distance (MinDist) <Integer>
    The distance at which this effect will be fully translucent.

  • Maximum Distance (MaxDist) <Integer>
    The distance at which this effect will be at full intensity.

  • Outer Maximum Distance (OuterMaxDist) <Integer>
    If larger than the maximum distance, this is the length at which the glow will fade completely out, between the span of the maximum distance and this length.

  • Glow Proxy Geometry Size (GlowProxySize) <Float>
    Size of the glow to be rendered for visibility testing. Must be larger than the distance from the sprite center to empty space. So if this glow is inside geometry (like a light bulb), set this value to be bigger than the bulb's radius. Any time a sphere of this radius would be visible (poking through any nearby geometry), the glow will be rendered.

  • HDR color scale. (HDRColorScale) <Float>
    float value to multiply sprite color by when running in HDR mode.

  • Spawnflags (spawnflags) <Flags>

    • Visible only from front

Inputs

  • RunScriptFile <String>
    Load and execute a script file

  • RunScriptCode <String>
    Execute a fragment of script code

  • CallScriptFunction <String>
    Call a script function

  • CallPrivateScriptFunction <String>
    Calls a script function from this entity's private script scope.

  • CallGlobalScriptFunction <String>
    Calls a script function in the global script scope.

  • Kill <Void>
    Removes this entity from the world.

  • KillHierarchy <Void>
    Removes this entity and all its children from the world.

  • AddOutput <String>
    Adds an entity I/O connection to this entity. Parameter format: outputname>targetname>inputname>parameter>delay>max times to fire (-1 == infinite). Very dangerous, use with care.

  • FireUser1 <Void>
    Causes this entity's OnUser1 output to be fired.

  • FireUser2 <Void>
    Causes this entity's OnUser2 output to be fired.

  • FireUser3 <Void>
    Causes this entity's OnUser3 output to be fired.

  • FireUser4 <Void>
    Causes this entity's OnUser4 output to be fired.

  • SetParent <TargetDestination>
    Changes the entity's parent in the movement hierarchy.

  • SetParentAttachment <String>
    Change this entity to attach to a specific attachment point on its parent. Entities must be parented before being sent this input. The parameter passed in should be the name of the attachment.

  • SetParentAttachmentMaintainOffset <String>
    Change this entity to attach to a specific attachment point on it's parent. Entities must be parented before being sent this input. The parameter passed in should be the name of the attachment. The entity will maintain it's position relative to the parent at the time it is attached.

  • ClearParent <Void>
    Removes this entity from the the movement hierarchy, leaving it free to move independently.

  • Color <Color255>
    Change the render color of the glow. Format: <Red 0-255> <Green 0-255> <Blue 0-255>

Outputs

  • OnUser1 <Void>
    Fired in response to FireUser1 input.

  • OnUser2 <Void>
    Fired in response to FireUser2 input.

  • OnUser3 <Void>
    Fired in response to FireUser3 input.

  • OnUser4 <Void>
    Fired in response to FireUser4 input.

  • OnKilled <Void>
    Fired when the entity is killed and removed from the game.
