here is an alt version that uses cone based illumination for models and pointlight for geometry use 1.10 compiler.
Edit this define AMBIENTLIGHT_USE_ATTACHMENT true to use gamedata attached directly to flashlight attachment.

i like this version
It looks like it uses the player's own flashlight.

Is "AMBIENT_*" used to control another light?
From my perspective the plugin seems to create an extra light in the close range, perhaps incorrect tracking?

Change "AMBIENTLIGHT_USE_ATTACHMENT true"
Nothing seems to happen?

#define AMBIENTLIGHT_USE_ATTACHMENT true
#define DEBUG false


#define COLOUR "7 7 7"
#define BRIGHTNESS "3"
#define INNER_CONE "1"
#define OUTERCONE "1"
#define SPOTLIGHT_RANGE 750.0
#define SPOTLIGHT_SIZE 750.0
#define LIGHT_OFFSET 40.0
#define LERP_TIME 0.1

#define AMBIENT_COLOUR "50 50 50"
#define AMBIENT_BRIGHTNESS "1"
#define AMBIENT_LIGHT_SIZE 150.0
#define AMBIENT_LIGHT_OFFSET 40.0

#define COOKIE_DEFAULT "1"

Also tested with different "INNER_CONE" "OUTERCONE" settings.

Hey Lux, rookie here to L4D2 mods, apologies. I'm a little confused on how to test out your plugin, as I've only been using sourcemod.net compiler so far for my light personal work and tinkering, so 1. I'm also unsure on how to do imports (would love to be educated with a few helpful links if feature is available, preferably don't want to install any thing locally unless it's the only way - OS: Windows) 2. you say there's an optional requirement for gamedata but where is/are that files? I don't see them on your GitHub

Maybe you could upload an .smx version of your plugin and gamedata (if applicable)?

ambient light is only what you see and others who spec you, the other light is what you don't see but what others see like silvers flashlight.

Here but I do really suggest getting familiar with sm's ecosystem and github.
If this gamedata here is broken you can get latest from Here
