Lighting Problem

#1 · August 15, 2011, 4:29 am

Hi, i'm having trouble getting light to work properly with this model, I'm using the final conpile with -both -final -textureshadows -StaticPropLighting -StaticPropPolys -game $gamedir $path$file

If its a dynamic model, try setting the lighting origin to a lighted area. This is done by creating a info_target and setting the appropriate value in the model's properties.

Aren't these Portal 1 props? maybe that's where the problem lies?

i took these off one of valve's maps

Valve used path_corners as lighting origins for prop_dynamics in their maps (I don't know why but it seems to work). I used it too and it worked. The result was not the best but the model wasn't black anymore. Try to put the path_corner as lighting origin to some bright place (near a light entity).
It won't override the whole lighting but it gives some minimum light level to the prop.

You can also set which light lights the prop_dynamic in its properties directly.
