About:

• Selection of 39 lamps to spawn (few less in L4D1).
• Save up to 32 lamps for auto-spawning (config saved to l4d_lamp.cfg in your servers \addons\sourcemod\data\ folder.).

Known Bugs:

• On occasion lamps cannot be broken. This seems to be a problem with entity outputs.
• A maximum of 32 light_dynamic entities can light up the map at one time.
• Plugins and maps which use light_dynamic entities, affect how many Lamps actually light up the map.
• Lamps are FPS intensive. I would highly recommend that you do not exceed 20 Lamps per map, for this and the above reasons.

Hi Silvers,

How do you get the menu to show on screen? I have the plugin loaded and set the cfg but I don't see any option for lamps when I open my admin menu.

[Silvers]

sm_lamp

[Danny_l4d]

Hello Silvers, is it possible to make this for l4d1 as well?

[Silvers]

Too long, missing models etc. I would have otherwise.

[Elektramode]

Amazing plugin been using it these past days. Though if I may ask, how did you make one the lamps to "spin" around, since I noticed the entire prop rotated. Since I'd really like to do this for regular prop spawning to make for example: An obstacle course. (What part of code is this?)

[Silvers]

Search for "spin", 3rd hit...

Silver, i want to change the color of the lamp i spawn in the menu, but i press "color" "red" "save" "refresh" and when i spawn again, it's white.
Can you help me?
