TE_ELIGHT

A spherical dynamic light that fades over time and only affects point entities. This appears to be the same effect used with the EF_MUZZLEFLASH effect (seen with the gauss gun primary fire).

I can't figure out how to set up the light properly. It just looks like crap no matter what I try.

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Vector	pos	Center point for the effect
float	radius	Radius of the light sphere
Color	c	Light color
uint8	life	Time to display the light (seconds * 0.1)
uint8	decayRate	Light fade speed

API Function

No API function exists as of SC 5.02
