CTEDynamicLight

Overview

A temporary light entity. Each client can only display one light at a time, displaying another while the previous is active will simply delete the old one. So if you send this entity to all players, that is the only instance you will be able to concurrently use. If you send a separate light specifically to each client they will be able to see their own light (but not other lights sent to other clients).

SendProps

CTEDynamicLight

Name	Type	Description
m_vecOrigin	Vector	The origin of the light
r	Integer	The red value
g	Integer	The green value
b	Integer	The blue value
exponent	Integer	The brightness. 1 - 10 is a good range, past around the 20 mark the light begins to cease to function properly.
m_fRadius	Float	The radius or range in Hammer Units that the light casts
m_fTime	Float	How long in seconds this light will remain on
m_fDecay	Float	How fast should this light fade away (does not interact with or consider m_fTime). Specifying a negative value does not make the light "grow"
