Custom lamp - OriginalUsername - 06-10-2013

Hey,

I'm creating a custom model for a CS. I wanted to make it a lamp so the player can lit the entity, but I didn't add any billboards or lights. When I go in-game, I can't lit the 'lamp'. I copied everything from another lamp in the model editor, so it can't be that.
Did I miss something?

Did you make sure to set it to a lamp entity in the user variables in the model editor?

Make sure the "CanBeLitByPlayer" option is ticked.

It is.

Does it need to have a light and a billboard?

Lets try this:
Open "View --> Outline", select main body of the lamp (for example, Body_1), click "Edit attachments" and select everything. Click "Ok".

Yes, add any pointlight or spotlight.
