env_lightglow

[MI77]

Anyone worked out what this entity does? Can't see a real explanation in the forums and I can't do anything with it in my test maps....

IIRC thats basically a sprite entity that glows. Like the glowing effect around lights.

TDE, since you seem to know everything about everything.. do you know how I could make a flare? I've kind of got it down by using a physbox and a light_dynamic. but it doesn't really give off light and I don't know how to get that really bright and flickering part with the glowing and all that good stuff, you know what a flare looks like
so, any idea on how I could achieve this?

ive never seen a env_lightglow in use. all the glowing effects around lights ive seen have been env_sprite's.

maybe they both do the same/similar things
