You looped through players to set lights?

new FogIndex = -1;
new Float:mapFogStart = 0.0;
new Float:mapFogEnd = 150.0;
new Float:mapFogDensity = 0.99;

public OnMapStart()
{
new ent;
ent = FindEntityByClassname(-1, "env_fog_controller");
if (ent != -1)
{
FogIndex = ent;
}
else
{
FogIndex = CreateEntityByName("env_fog_controller");
DispatchSpawn(FogIndex);
}
Fog();
AcceptEntityInput(FogIndex, "TurnOff");
}

Public action(....)
{
AcceptEntityInput(FogIndex, "TurnOn");
PrintToChat("Dark On")
}
Fog()
{
if(FogIndex != -1)
{
DispatchKeyValue(FogIndex, "fogblend", "0");
DispatchKeyValue(FogIndex, "fogcolor", "0 0 0");
DispatchKeyValue(FogIndex, "fogcolor2", "0 0 0");
DispatchKeyValueFloat(FogIndex, "fogstart", mapFogStart);
DispatchKeyValueFloat(FogIndex, "fogend", mapFogEnd);
DispatchKeyValueFloat(FogIndex, "fogmaxdensity", mapFogDensity);
}
}

Even if I don't loop through all players it won't work for me.

SetLightStyle has bug, it doesn't do effects on players already on the server only reconnect or map restart. It's bacuase of client side won't update during the server

What should I do then?
Is there anyway around this or to make the map dark with some other thing?

I'm pretty sure you can loop through all the lights and change their intensity/color instead of style. I know it is possible to create lights and change them, so it should be possible to simply change existing ones.

PHP Code:

new ent = -1;
while((ent=FindEntityByClassname(ent, "light"))!= -1){
    DispatchKeyValue(ent, "Brightness", "255 255 255 1");//Last number is brightness, the rest is color
}

I don't think you can loop thru "light" entities... As far as I know, these entities are destroyed on map compilation. Changing map lighting "on fly" only causes many visual glitches, especially in CS:GO...

I guess the best possible way here would be to create black fog, but it's a fog and not shadow...

Is there a way to do the opposite? Make the lights brighter or add a new light source on a map with a plugin?

You can add a new light with CreateEntityByName("light");
