light at the end of the tunnel effect

you remember on highway 17 when you're driving the jeep down the tunnel, and all you see is white, and what looks almost like a sprite, then you get there and it fades away and your "eyes adjust" to the light.

same effect was at the end of ravenhome when you exit the cave.

How do you do this?

s**t load of lights in the same spot?

might be a func_areaportal ... not sure though. I'd check but my steam stuff is all screwed up AND "steam servers are too busy to process your request" ... :rolleyes:

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

env_sun? dunno though just my 2 cents

It's an env_lightglow.Set it at the entrance of the tunnel, and set the Vertical Size to 100 and the Horizontal Size to 200.

Set the Minimum Distance to 50 and the Maximum Distance to 1000 or higher.

Now change the "Yaw" so that the entity is facing inwards toward the tunnel.

Then go to the flags and checkmark "Visible only from front".

(Taken from the interlopers.net tutorial)

Open the sdk resources folder, and open the map with that tunnel in hl2, and see how to do it. Many of the hl2 maps are in there.

Awsome! Thanks Juim. Forgot about the env_entities.

It was done with an areaportal_window btw. Set the color to white and wha la.

I'll be happy to make an example map for you whenever my sdk starts working again.

For now, I hope this tutorial can help you.
