Actually, this prefab doesn't use anything that any other multiplayer Source game doesn't already use. The only thing particular to L4D2 is the emergency light model. But the thing with Portal 2 and L4D (one and two) they don't even use .gcf files. All their content is located under their respective titles within the 'commons' folder. So, if you want to use that model, you'd have to find the right .vpk file to unpack and extract it.

There is a small black/pink box that rotates with a sprite over it around the area of the room I put it in. Other than that no light emits. Odd.

The black/pink box is the missing model; also, light would emit, but your surfaces may not be close enough. You could increase the spotlight end radius so that it encompasses some geometry in the environment so you can see it or make some world geometry closer.

Otherwise this prefab should work in any multiplayer source game. If you want it in your SP game, turn the prop_physics_multiplayer into a simple prop_physics. That's it!

Yes, please keep trying.. would be a nice addition to our resources. The update to the tools and engine to a more unified level may help get it to work across different games now.

yup tried it in other games wouldn't work. Damn, I'll keep trying,
I don't know if point_spotlight is in the other games that's what I used for the light source.

Anywho, entity identification is unique even with games using the same engine.

Seems like it could really be usfull well in l4d2

TBH I wasn't sure if it would work in other games.
The model was from L4d so that might be part of it.
Maybe I should try making it in other games and write a tutorial on it.
Probably easier that way.

I downloaded this and gave it a try in CSS, but it does not look anything like it does in your picture. There is a small black/pink box that rotates with a sprite over it around the area of the room I put it in. Other than that no light emits. Odd.

Added a Light Environment, got the pink glow on the wall, but still have a no texture box rotating opposite of the glow now. The red light that emits the rotation light has no light of its own and looks kinda dull. Maybe it does not work in CSS as it does in LFD.
