hey guyz...i added a bulb (physics) on a place in my map...actually the ceiling to be precise...then i added a light_spot so it would appear that the bulb is emitting light...then i added env_sprite in the light_spot with normal settings...then to make it nicer i added the point_spotlight in the light_spot too...and changed the point position to the ground...but the problem is when i run my map...instead of seeing these cool stuff...the env_sprite turned into a black box...and the point_lighspot didnt do anything...why????

any help would be thankfull

make sure the sprites rendering mode is aditive, and I dont think point_lightspot has anything to do with making the Light_spot look better.

Then use dust motes (or 1 of these here http://www.snarkpit.com/editing.php?page=tutorials&game=HL2&id=116) brush entity, point spotlight I think is only used for the light_spot to point to that spot, but you can do it anyways by choosing where it points

Actually, point_spotlight makes a nice beam effect coming from the light - like the lights here:




If they're not appearing, it has to do with their rotation, most likely - make sure the red axis marker is pointing where you want the spotlight to point.
