target_lightramp
A controlling entity for fading lights on and off.
The lightramp can be used to either brighten or dim lights, using a trigger and a light entity.
1.Firstly, create a good sized room (300x300x300) and place your info_player_start and a light in there. Give the light a "targetname" of "ramp1". Give it a "spawnflags" of "1" so it's START OFF.
2.Place a trigger_once brush in the center of the room, give it the "target" value of "light1".
3.Place a target_lightramp in the room and give it a "targetname" of "light1" (to match the trigger_once). Then, give it a "target" of "ramp1" (to match the light entity).
4. Some key values for the target_lightramp are:
"speed" the number of seconds for ramping
"message" a two letter representation of the brightness, from a to m. i.e. am would go from dark to bright
5. For this example, we'll make a light go from dark to bright. The light entity would have these key values:
"light" "300"
"targetname" "ramp1"
"spawnflags" "1" (start off)
6. Compile your map and watch the lights turn on when you cross the room.
Here's a sample map showing this example.
