I put in multiple entities of 'light' or 'point_spotlight' in my map, but they dont show up, does the box that appears when you highlight them have to be completely no touching anything or what?

They shouldn't be in walls, but it doesn't matter with walls (or brush entities, I think?). POST YOUR COMPILE LOG if you're still having problems!

If you're compiling with no errors, just try some simple things like turning up the brightness and max distance. As for the spotlights, I've had a weird bug where the light didn't show up unless it had a name, so make sure each of them is named uniquely.

Also, point_spotlight is not a light, it is just an affect
