I am trying to make a xen plant light, but for some reason it barely glows at all, even though i turned the FX amount all the way up to 255, is there something im missing?

I don't think FX amount effects the amount of light something gives off...I don't know the exact fields that are in a xen plant light, but if it's a brush based object, you could make it use textured lighting. [addsig]

um, I'm probably not the best to ask these...but if you're looking for something like that...it's an entity based light.

Xen plantlights should target a pointbased light entity in the vicinity of the head of the light. Have the plantlight target the light and the on/off things should work automatically.

A texture light will not work with a plantlight.

The FX things for the plantlight effect the model itself and the glow sprite that will appear on the tip.
