real time light entities

Hello, it's possible to create lighting entities (light, light_spot, etc) with create_entity instead of TE_DLIGHT message?

I don't found enough informations about these entities in hlsdk.

Code:

stock bool:createSquare(Float:vAngles[3],Float:vOrigin[3])

{ 

           ent = create_entity( "info_target" );

        

           if (is_valid_ent(ent)) 

           {

                entity_set_string( ent , EV_SZ_classname, "square");

                entity_set_int(ent, EV_INT_solid, SOLID_BBOX); 

                      entity_set_int(ent, EV_INT_movetype, MOVETYPE_NONE); 

                      entity_set_model(ent, SQUARE); 

                entity_set_size( ent , Float:{ -80.0, -90.0, 0.0 }, Float:{ 80.0, 90.0, 10.0 } );

                entity_set_vector(ent, EV_VEC_angles, vAngles);

                entity_set_int(ent, EV_INT_fixangle , 1 );

                      entity_set_origin(ent, vOrigin);



                message_begin(MSG_BROADCAST,SVC_TEMPENTITY)

                write_byte(TE_DLIGHT) // 27

                write_coord(floatround(vOrigin[0])) // x

                write_coord(floatround(vOrigin[1])) // y

                write_coord(floatround(vOrigin[2])) // z

                write_byte(50) // radius

                write_byte(50) // Red

                write_byte(255) // Green

                write_byte(255) // Blue

                write_byte(255) // life

                write_byte(60) // decay rate

                message_end()

           }



}

Without te_dlight and tempentity.

Re: real time light entities

AFAIK, GoldSource doesn't support dynamic light, that means, "light" or "light_spot" entities created after map's compilation won't have any effect. But i didn't try.

Did you try? Try also with cs_create_entity("light").

Re: real time light entities

Yes, only dynamic lights work in "real time". I Will leave thread open, case someone manage to do that and want to share.

I remember seeing a server with permanent lights. I am not sure how it worked, but the lights would never ever dissapear, you know, when you're using the de_dlight message to make lights and use a task to repeat the process, there is a little bit of lag so the lights are off for like 0.5 secs or whatever then they appear again. However, on that server, which is a TFC server, they would never dissapear. Still, I'm quite sure it's still the tempentity message, because, there is no other way to add lights after map completly loaded.
