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).

Overview[edit | edit source]

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).
