env_dlight #

Creates a dynamic light.

Maximum 32 dynamic lights can exist at any given time. Note that player’s flashlight produces one dynamic light and some monsters (e.g. alien slaves) can produce dynamic lights as well.

Spawnflags #

• Track position updates makes the dynamic light update the position when the calculated Position is changing.
• Position is Locus Entity makes treating the Position parameter as Locus Entity instead of Locus Position. The resulting light position is the entity origin. When Track position updates is ticked using the entity as a reference point may produce better results (smooth movement of the dynamic light), at the expense of not letting to set the arbitrary position.

Reaction to use-type #

• Handles use-types to turn the light off or on.
• It’s not possible to prolong the dynamic light lifetime when it’s already active.
