Making real sun

How do I make a sun and light come from the sun. Yes I did a search couldnt find anything.

Use a light_environment entity to make natural lighting (be it
sunlight, moonlight, etc...), and use an env_sun to make the bright
spot in the sky. Search those entities on the forums to find out more
info.

there is a tutorial on it. I don't know how your supposed to line it up with the sun on a skybox though.

Can't you apply sky box images like textures? I know they're in the
texture browser. You could just apply them to the inside of the skybox,
line everything up then change the skybox texture back to "sky".

Just a thought.

if you try that, i promise you, itll look crappy......

Yes. You can't get that to work. It wont line up.

It took me about an hour to figure out that you use a skybox texture and just change the name of the one you want to use in proberties. I felt like a retard.
