Blocklight?

[Dario D.]

How do you use the blocklight texture? I've been having some trouble with it.

Must it be a certain type of func?

I also wanted to know: does "nodraw" block light and cast shadow?

nodraw doesnt cast shadows, and the blocklight texture should cover a doorway or something you dont want light to pass through. There is another texture like this that does almost the same thing called block_los which i believe has something to do with face styles.
It was used in HL:S on the room wall where the gman and a scientist were talking at the beggining. Its covering the windows and I think it blocks lights because its creating a strange looking shadow, but it must do more than that.

Block_los blocks just npc:s line of sight so you could make window for example npc:s couldnt see thru...
