I see no attachment. But make your basic light in radiant using brushes, I've found spheres work great for bulbs, texture it with a 'light' textures, something that looks like light should come off of it, and, right click on the 2D window, select light. Then give it a brightness value (higher=brighter).

WHere was that... Oh, yeh! a good tut for spotlights is here: http://www.clankiller.com/gtkradianttut/tut4/index2.php
It is straightforward and excellent.

srry but that didnt help i need the little beam thinger to came out of the light i know how to make spotlights i just kneed to know how 2 make the beam thinger

Re: lights
 

I think it is a brush covered in a shader to make it look like a beam.

Re: lights
 

maybe...

Re: lights
 

No, I am fairly sure it is a brush and shader, I think the shader is called "dust" something. I know it has been used in a few other maps which have been released...but if it is a custom shader, I highly suggest you get the author's permission to use it. Good luck!

Re: lights
 

i am using that thing to.. its in common files i am sure, one good one called dark_dust. also, if u put a light at the top then have it target to a info_null, it adds for the the effect i belive. Also, if u open one of thoses duel maps that come with the program. its in there and u can see hwo raven made it

Re: lights
 

hey thx!

Re: lights
 

here's what you do. no "I thinks"


make a brush covered with nodraw (in system)

make this brush the shape of your "beam"

cover the sides with a dust or a gradient (common_gradient is nice) fit the textures correctly.

and voila! you're done.

Re: lights
 

that what raven did

thx 4 all ur help ppl
