doors and shadows

[TCfromBN]

When i have ever tied a brush to func_door or have had any kind of door even prop_door_rotating at all it never leaves a shadow. The light shines right through it.

You're right, entities do not block vis.

look at it this way.. if it did block the light, it would look pretty weird when you opened the door too..

this is annoying to me because i have a dusk coastal map and the door is facing the light and your walking into an erie room and it ruins it :/

Couldn't you parent a brush that is covered with that block light texture/tool thing. I've never used it so I don't know how it works

One thing I did to fake light coming through a doorway as the door is opened is to fill the doorway with the dev texture that blocks light, then have a realtime light that moved as the door was opened to shine light where it should be. This was with a vertically moving door though, not sure if it'd be simple to get it working well with a rotating one.
